A poster for the upcoming Netflix YA fantasy film The School for Good and Evil has been unveiled. We see Kerry Washington, Sofia Wylie and Sophia Anne Caruso dressed to the nines in their respective roles on the poster. Using contrasting colour tones, the good and evil schools may be clearly seen in the backdrop of the image. “Which side are you supporting?” Along with the new picture, Netflix posted a letter to its followers enticing them. An adaptation of Soman Chainani’s best-selling YA fantasy series of the same name serves as the basis for the film. It has been translated into 30 languages & sold over 2.5 million copies. Sophie and Agatha are close friends who find themselves on opposing sides of the war between good and evil as they navigate the magical school. Caruso portrays Sophie, and Wylie plays Agatha, in the film’s key roles.
Professor Dovey of the School of Good is portrayed by Theron, while Lady Lesso is played by Charlize Theron. The movie’s narrator is played by Cate Blanchett. The film has been directed by Paul Feig, who worked with Life of Pi writers David Magee and Laura Solon on the script. According to Chainani, “It’s an honour and a dream to have one of your favourite directors turn your novel into a Netflix film.” Paul Feig is a wonderful director and a master of tone, and he’s an ideal match for ‘The School for Good & Evil,’ which is full of twists and turns.” A real fairy tale classic is without a doubt in his hands.
Director Feig, whose filmography includes Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, and A Simple Favor, expressed his delight, saying, “I feel like a frog that just transformed into a prince..” This magnificent, heartbreaking, humorous, and uplifting universe that Soman built in his excellent stories excites me tremendously.” Additionally, Michelle Yeoh, Laurence Fishburne, Kit Young, Rachel Bloom, Peter Serafinowicz, Mark Heap and Patti LuPone are also in the cast. The picture will be produced by Joe Roth, Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Jane Startz, and Laura Fischer of Feigco, in addition to Paul Feig. Executive producers include Zack Roth, Patricia Riggen, and Chainani. The movie will release on Netflix on October 21.
