The trailer of the modern-day adaptation of The Witches which is written by popular British novelist Roald Dahl is here. But, it’s not just a remake of the 1990’s movie starring Anjelica Huston. This one has a whole new twist.
In this new version, Anne Hathaway dons a vaguely German accent and has a very Joker-like makeup to play the part of The Grand High Witch, with Octavia Spencer and Stanley Tucci in supporting roles and voice-over by Chris Rock.
Spencer plays the role of a loving Grandmother who entertains and indulges in her grandson Luke, who is fascinated by witches. But little does he know that the children-hating coven of witches, headed by The Grand High Witch is planning to turn him into a mouse.
Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis adds magic to this movie and promises to bring in some more surprises.
The movie is releasing internationally on October 28.
