Netflix introduces the next magical YA academy in The School For Good And Evil trailer
Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington oversee a fairytale academy in Paul Feig's new film
There’s just something about a magical boarding school that captures the imagination. Or maybe there’s something about the power of a certain magical boarding school that has movie execs desperate to capture its success. Either way, Netflix is getting in on the action with The School For Good And Evil, and it’s bringing out some heavy hitters to sell the thing.
One of them is Charlize Theron, playing up the campy villainess energy she perfected in Snow White And The Huntsman. “Every so often, a very lucky candidate from the outside is selected for admission to this hallowed institution,” she explains to her new students (Sofia Wylie and Sophia Ann Caruso). Picking up the explanation is Patti freakin’ LuPone: “The School for Good and Evil, where the true story behind every great fairy tale begins. The School for Good trains the heroes. The School for Evil, the villains.”
