Class Begins in the FirstSchool for Good and EvilTrailer

Okay , yes , sure ; this is a moving picture about kids who get whisk by from the normal world and stuck in amagical schooltaught by a superfluity of A - list celebrity actors in which the Heron and the villain are rigorously defined . But if you may get sure wizards out of your head , the first lagger for Netflix ’s movie adaptation of Soman Chainiani’sSchool for Good and Evilseries look fantabulous .

If you ’re incognizant of the book serial publication , the assumption is essentially this . Two young friend , the gloomful Agatha ( Sofia Wylie ) and the effervescent Sophie ( Sophia Anne Caruso ) , are remove to the titular school day where fairy tale submarine sandwich and baddie are taught to facilitate maintain the equaliser between good and iniquity . The twist is that Sophie , who has dreamt of being a fag tale princess , gets stuck in Villain school , while Agatha is put on the Hero raceway . complication ensue :

As you could see in the drone , the picture show stars an dead stacked dramatis personae including Charlize Theron , Kerry Washington , Michelle Yeoh , and Laurence Fishburne , butIMDBlists Ben Kingsley , Rachel Bloom , Patti LuPone , Rob Delaney , and Peter Serafinowicz as well . Everyone appear like they ’re sustain a hell on earth of a lot of fun , and I appreciate how much this wizardly school does n’t await like Hogwarts — directorPaul Feig saidhe based its style on art nouveau for that very rationality , and the consequence is lovely to look at .
