THE WITCHES TRAILER
FOR THE NEW MOVIE REMAKE
It is one of those remakes that nobody wanted, because the original film was too precious, but the studio still did not care what we think. THE WITCHES trailer and poster are here this time with Anne Hathaway
instead of Anjelica Huston. The lead kid character has been black washed as you will notice. The Robert Zemeckis directed remake will skip cinemas and go straight to HBO Max October 22nd based on Roald Dahl's famous book.

THE WITCHES tells the tale of a young orphaned boy who, in late 1967,
heads to live with his loving Grandma (Octavia Spencer) in rural
Alabama. The two encounter some deceptively glamorous but truly evil
witches. Our young hero is then sent away to a seaside resort. However,
they arrive at exactly the same time that the world's Grand High Witch
(Anne Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe,
undercover, to carry out her nefarious plan to turn all children into
mice. Stanley Tucci plays the hotel manager who unwittingly hosts the
witches’ convention.

| The book was published in 1983, with the original film in 1990 |
Why oh why oh why?
ReplyDeleteThat is the million pound question!
DeleteNo, we didn't ask for it, but I am excited for it nevertheless. Yes, the original was super precious, but I think this one has such a good cast. Now, tell me Hocus Pocus is getting a remake with difference characters and I'll cut a bitch.
ReplyDeleteGood cast? What? Chris Rock narrating, blackwashed lead and Anne Hathaway trying to be interesting and evil? Tucci and Octavia are probably the only good ones in there, sadly. I'm absolutely sure Hocus Pocus will go for diversity too, probably Whoopie in the lead role LOL
DeleteWe are watching Hocus Pocus right now!!
DeleteHave fun!
DeleteThe mice on that cover are too flippin' cute. I don't know, I kinda like mice more than kids so I might be okay with that plan. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you weren't invited to the witch congress with your love for mice LOL
DeleteYou don’t like Hathaway for her role? I’m a fan of Anne Hathaway and think she’d be great. Don’t get mad, but I never saw the original but I’ve read the book a million times when I was younger!! Not sure I’d ever watch the movie because I’d hate for it to ruin my perception of one my favorite youth books!
ReplyDeleteThe original movie was a massive cult classic, very atmospheric and very scary, Anjelica Huston is most people's idea of a witch thanks to that role. Anne just makes it cutsie, and that is not the point of the story. Plus she has never been a multidimensional actress.
DeleteThe book creeped me out during my middle school days.. I wouldn’t think it cutsie either. In other news, Anne Hathaway has supposedly moved a few towns east of me on Long Island. There were recent reports of people running into her at Home Depot. Maybe I need to start frequenting stores in her town to catch a glimpse of her. :)
DeleteShe might turn you into a mouse if you do.... I believe she has a very hot husband, or an ex one, I forgot.. someone blond, methinks.
DeleteYes, Octavua and Tucci are both fabulous actors. I actually think Hathaway is a great choice too. She’s just got that bitch, witchy vibe down, I think she’s going to kill it in her role. At least I hope she does.
ReplyDeleteI don't see it, but I hope it does not disappoint you, I know how much you need your Halloween movie highlight :)
DeleteI believe she just had a baby, so she probably still does have a hot hubby hanging around.
ReplyDeleteThey've all seemed to be prego this and last year! I think somebody got a baby this week as well, forgot who...
