The Nutcracker and The Four Realms Teaser Trailer
The holiday season is upon us and to add to the festive spirit, Disney has released a teaser trailer of the live-action retelling of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 story The Nutcracker And The Mouse King.
The Nutcracker And The Four Realms follows Clara (Mackenzie Foy) whose only wish is to get hold of a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party leads her to the coveted key — which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. There, Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
Other cast members include Jack Whitehall, Richard E Grant, Eugenio Derbez and Keira Knightly. Knightley is playing the sugar-plum fairy. There’s also a special performance by Misty Copeland.
Disney opens The Nutcracker on November 2, 2018.
