A Monster Calls - Trailer

In A Monster Calls, Liam Neeson Is a Tree Monster and It's Awesome

I’ve been excited about this fantasy fairy tale movie A Monster Calls for months. It’s directed by J.A. Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage), written by Patrick Ness (who wrote the source book), produced by Belen Atienza (Pan’s Labyrinth), and it stars Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver—and the booming voice of Liam Neeson.

Neeson’s character—a tree monster that’s thousands of years old—really shows his powers and impressive presence in this latest teaser. Suffice to say that Neeson has acquired some very particular skills this time.

A Monster Calls is due out October 14.

This New A Monster Calls Trailer Is Simply Stunning

Whether or not J.A. Bayona’s new film A Monster Calls ends up being any good, we can say one thing for sure: It’s going to be beautiful. And, let’s be honest, if this trailer is any indication, it will probably be exceedingly good, too.

Based on a fantasy novel by Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls is about a boy (Lewis MacDougall) who is not doing well. His mum (Felicity Jones) is incredibly sick, the kids at school are bullying him and his grandmother (Sigourney Weaver) is less than sympathetic. To escape these real world horrors, he invents a fantasy world lead by a monster (Liam Neeson) that helps him cope. The film opens October 21 and here’s the new trailer.
