Oct. 22, mark your calendars.
HBO MaxWarner Bros. announced Friday that its adaptation of the iconic 1983 children’s book will premiere Oct. 22 exclusively on the aforementioned streaming service, and it features a star-studded cast. The film, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci, Chris Rock , and is directed by Oscar-winner Robert Zemeckis.
The film was originally scheduled to hit theaters in October, but with all things pandemic, it was delayed. If you’ve not yet seen the 1990 version, the story is about a little boy who happens upon a coven of witches and, with the help of his sweet grandma, thwarts their plans of ridding Britain’s kids by turning them all into mice. The 1990 film starred Anjelica Huston and Rowan Atkinson, so it’s really worth a viewing of its own this Halloween. It did, however, get a thumbs down from Dahl himself for not following the ending as he originally wrote it.
In the new film, Hathaway plays the Grand High Witch, while Spencer plays the beloved grandma who will fight her plans with everything she has. Tucci is playing the role of the hotel manager who accidentally hosts the witches’ convention much to his shock. Jahzir Bruno plays the brave little boy , who becomes the hero of the story.
In addition to directing, Zemeckis wrote the screenplay with Kenya Barris and Guillermo del Toro, and is said to follow Dahl’s original story more closely., hitting HBO Max on Oct. 22

I Watched The Witches Through My Fingers So This Remake Looks Totally Fine to MeI’ve never actually “watched” The Witches, a movie my grandmother insisted on playing every time she’d babysit us. Why she purchased the dusty old VHS tape is even more unclear, as I couldn’t have been much older than five or six when she first made my siblings and I sit down with her and the then-decade-old horror flick. I can hear her still, telling me how pretty Angelica Huston was. I can’t remember much else, though. The entire movie happened between my fingers. \n
