ROALD DAHL'S THE WITCHES
From Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”) comes the fantasy
adventure “Roald Dahl’s The Witches.” The film stars Oscar winners Anne Hathaway (“Les Misérable,” “Ocean’s 8”) and Octavia Spencer (“The Help,” “The Shape of Water”), Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games” films, “The Lovely Bones”), with Kristin Chenoweth (TV’s “Glee” and “BoJack Horseman”) and award-winning comedy legend Chris Rock. Newcomer Jahzir Bruno (TV’s “Atlanta”) also stars, alongside Codie-Lei Eastick (“Holmes & Watson”).
Reimagining Dahl’s beloved story for a modern audience, Zemeckis’s visually innovative
film tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis.
As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe-undercover-to carry out her nefarious plans.
Based on the book by Roald Dahl, the screenplay is by Robert Zemeckis & Kenya Barris
(TV’s “black-ish,” “Shaft”) and Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro (“The Shape of Water”).
Zemeckis is also producing, alongside Jack Rapke, del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Luke Kelly.
Serving as executive producers are Jacqueline Levine, Marianne Jenkins, Michael Siegel, Gideon Simeloff and Cate Adams.
Zemeckis’s behind-the-scenes team includes a roster of his frequent collaborators,
including Oscar-nominated director of photography Don Burgess (“Forrest Gump”), production designer Gary Freeman, editors Jeremiah O’Driscoll and Ryan Chan, Oscar-nominated costume designer Joanna Johnston (“Allied,” “Lincoln”), and Oscar-nominated composer Alan Silvestri (“Polar Express,” “Forrest Gump”).

That is not the right "The Witches" this is the fake! The remake! And I don't ike it! There is one true "The Witches" from 1990!

I noticed that the Grand High Witch is set apart by the middle toe on her foot and her wide array of powers.

I don’t care how many deformed people get their feelings hurt, I really do enjoy the new design of the Witches.

Didn't you like it better when they had cat claws for fingernails on otherwise normal hands?

@@TheNotverysocial No. I like the non-normal hands the new witches have. They almost remind me of bird feet/ frog hands.

@@AlbertusSalvatierra I think the catlike claws for fingernails fits better with the "Witches hide their abnormalities with gloves" theme than these monstrosities.

@@TheNotverysocial Yes. That’s what they were going for- a monstrosity.

@@AlbertusSalvatierra I know. It still goes better with the usage of gloves to pass as normal.
