On December 23rd, audiences in select cities will be among the first to enjoy A Monster Calls, the new film from director J.A. Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage) and writer Patrick Ness. Ahead of the film’s limited release, Focus Features has issued a collection of clips and featurettes that offer insight to this unique tale, all of which can be seen below…
A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age. His beloved and devoted mother (Felicity Jones) is ill. He has little in common with his imperious grandmother (Sigourney Weaver). His father (Toby Kebbell) has resettled thousands of miles away. But Conor finds a most unlikely ally when the Monster (portrayed by Liam Neeson in performance-capture and voiceover) appears at his bedroom window one night. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.
A Monster Calls will open in wide release on January 6, 2017. Stay tuned to THE ROCK FATHER Magazine for a very special giveaway in January!
