it breaks my heart that more people aren’t realizing this movie is based off Roald Dahl’s masterpiece The Witches!! it’s not simply a remake of the 1990 The Witches, although that movie is amazing (YES I KNOW THEY MENTIONED IT IN THE VIDEO THREE TIMES BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE OPNELY IGNORED IT PLEASE STOP SAYING THIS IN MY REPLIES I KNOW)
I especially love the 1983 book and 1990 of this movie. This is a REMAKE of the 1990 The Witches. Horrible, horrible, horrible. What's next tho? Black Snow white? An Afrocentric Sleepy Beauty? Black Anna Green Gables? Black Mulan?? Black Charlie brown? Black House Alone movie? Black SHE-RA? Black I dream of Jeannie ??
@@503zzach I know alot of people don't like the remakes, but the depiction of black cinema was not always a wonderful or as special as the all white faces that portrayed the characters, whether animated or real people, or we just weren't allowed to play the characters. Hollywood is playing on our intelligence and taking advantage of the race baiting thats going on, but if they have some winners in there I'm so for it and for my daughter, a darker skin beauty, to be able to see herself in a portrayal of these wonderful stories. They could also make up original stories with a mixed cultural and race cast.
Same here. The Movie was known as "Hexen Hexen" in my Country and I loved it. My Grandma has an old small Painting at her Wall in the Living Room and till today it reminds me of the Painting with that Child trapped inside from the Movie. I liked and feared that Painting at the same time
This actually looks quite enchanting. I'm a little scared to see what the witches will look like when not pretending to be human. The first Witches made them look absolutely grotesque. Here's hoping they'll be even more terrifying here. Since this looks like it isn't made from Disney, maybe they can be a little less child friendly. You know, like all Roald Dahl children books are. Time to traumatize a new generation ( His book The Magic Finger freaked me out as a child).
@@tadejaivanic680 Haven't seen that actually. Probably true. I searched for her villain roles and found only this one so I didn't know. I have to watch the Huste but I keep forgetting about it. :D
I have loved octavia Spencer for so long in the small roles I saw her in over the years. Whatever it was she could do it and make it memorable even just a few lines. It makes me so happy for her to be getting these big roles now.
The witches, george's marvelous medicine, matilda and charlie and the chocolate factory are the best roald dahl books. He was such a genius story teller and he is one of those rare writers that truly can get children into reading books more. I know my love for reading came from his books.
Don’t forget about the fantastic mr. Fox, the twits, BFG, Charlie and the glass elevator, James and the giant peach... the list goes on and on! I love Roald Dahl
yes and HP lovecraft was a racist, even J.R.R Tolkien has been called a racist.. fact of the matter is if you put any writer older than 70 under a magnifying glass the odds are they would be classed as out dated by today's standards. Dr Seuss also apparently hates Jews and the grinch is apparently a Jew.
God I just couldn’t imagine this movie without Mai Zetterling in one of her final roles. She was absolutely intense and real. The ending words between her and The Grand High Witch are epiiiiic. “No, no next time. THIS time, it’s YOUR TURN!” Got chills just remembering it.
This book was what made me genuinely excited about learning to read as a child. I read it more times than I can recall because I loved this story so much. Imagine my excitement when I realized Roald Dahl had written lots of books just as magical as this one. Long story short; this is why I'm a librarian today. I'm excited to see a reimagining
Trailer releases: Everybody: *OMGGGGG NEEDA CRITIC EVERY TINY LITTLE THING* Idk I find critics really stupid nowadays lmfao especially since they’re so uncivilised smh
His books used to give me ANXIETY as a child as I was reading, so I can't wait to see it in a movie I know movies never live up to books, but now that I'm older I hope I can just revisit my childhood watching it, I'm not looking for a blockbuster
That one was more like the book this is pretty chill, but what can we expect from a generation of parents that said the lion king was 4oo much for kids because mufasaa killed Simba father and made their kids cry, gotta keep it low god forgive us of wakening their FEELINGS!!! 0_0
@@iamnotfitforadventure8108 I get why... It's Chris Rock narrating over his childhood in the late 1970s. I guess what I meant was it feels like they did that on purpose.
@@salonidewan2763 I doubt they have the balls to put the book ending, that and Angelica Houston presence was amazingly intimidating, with or without the makeup. But then again, Anne Hattaway is an amazing actress
Anjelica Huston may be a tough act to follow but if anyone could do it it's Anne Hathaway, I'm watching it because of her. But this trailer really made it seem like they decided to leave the darkness of the original movie out of it, which is a shame!
But you know, on a second thought, maybe it's a good thing that they didn't make it dark. Remakes arent meant to be exactly like the original and changing that defining feature they can make this movie enjoyable in there own original way. Even though at first we're all like: oh no, but that was The thing about this movie!
Why hasn't Stanley Tucci won any major acting award yet? He's the most versatile actor I've ever known. He's played the most diverse roles and played them so well.
The original The Witches is on Netflix now. Go watch it now. That one has been my favorite my whole life and always will be. No shade, but it's Anjelica. Some things we should just let be.
The cast is great but my heart dropped when I saw the CGI in the Grand High Witch's reveal. The original scene with Anjelica Huston was amazingly horrific, as she slowly peeled away her face, to reveal the monstrosity underneath. Prove me wrong movie! I really want to love this.
Jim Henson puppetry always has great potential to be viscerally horrifying. CGI is never quite the same. But it can still be spectacularly good and jaw dropping!
Is a bittersweet ending because the grandma is sad but the kid is content at hearing a mouse lives less than a human, since the grandma is sick and the kid doesn't want to outlive his grandma by much.
@@LunaOrgana that's true, obviously. It's just that everyone is saying that the old movie was scarier, but the book was much scarier than the movie. And they end differently! Which is even scarier...
Alodia Martin I mean it is a remake of the movie based on the book. Almost scene for scene based on the trailer. If it was the first movie to be done based on the book, people would probably mention the book, but it isn’t. If they remade the Harry Potter movies, it would be the same deal 🤷🏻♀️
Not a remake. They're both based on the book. From what I read, this version will stay more true to the book than the 1990 movie did. (Still very much love the 1990 movie though.)
I’m sure it’s not a remake although most consider that since a movie was already made about this. However, They are marketing this as based on the novel which the original is also based on.
I'm still scarred from watching the original when I was just a kid. Had some creepy painting of a girl who aged in it as time went by and was at a different place in the painting everyday until she died. What imma supposed to do with that as a kid??? Never visit an art gallery... that's for sure
It’s sad how no one here cares about Robert Zemeckis here. This person made Back To the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbits and Forest Gump, y’all. Just because it doesn’t have the grotesque imageries of the 90s, it doesn’t mean that this’ll suck
André Graciotti 🌸 agreed, I was petrified as a young child, the special effects back them was almost quite realistic where as computer generated ones are just too obvious 😂
"Doesn't matter who you are....or what you look like, as long as somebody loves you" Seems like this line is stolen from one of my mom's iconic "confidence boosters" whenever i complain about feeling ugly.
Loved the head witch in this movie! One of my favorite movies and believe me...I don't say that a lot when it comes to movies. This is only my second favorite movie in my entire life! Wish a part two would come out and bring back that head witch. She was awesome!
Isn’t it just a mask? I mean “beautiful” on the outside and on the inside the true “ugliness” comes out. So I think it’s fine. I mean she kinda funny, hope she won’t be annoying in the movie 😂
Come on. Let’s give Anne a break. She’s been playing the lovable good guy characters or the pitiable characters her whole career. I’m sure she’s bored of it by now. Let her have fun playing a few villains.
This looks fantastic! Can’t wait for the nostalgia of reading this book 27 years ago to be reimagined on screen again. Looks like a great adaptation! 😃
The Witches 90s movie TERRIFIED ME as a child and I still can't look at them without wincing! This really looks good and pretty exciting as well! I can't wait to see what the Witches look, I wonder (and hope) they're going full horror prosthetics NOT CGI.
@@zaza588 I know, it does seem that way. CGI can be great when it's in the hands of the best artists. The mice look great but I really want the Witches too look as real as possible.
I'm excited! Mostly to see Anne Hathaway play an evil witch! Been dying to see her play a badass villain! 😁 Grew up with and loved the 1990 movie so I'm super excited to see what this one will be like! I did hear this one will stay true to the book.
EXACTLY they need to stop remaking our childhoods. Angelica Huston was amazing. It’s just like come on pick another children’s book - hello! Do something original
Georgia Ade producers were hoping the adults,which were children back then, would watch this movie with their children now. That is why all the remakes. Disney included
Everyone being like "It's not scary" Ever consider you're the problem with that, not the movie? After all, I've noticed a trend where people in general are harder to scare with fictional stories. Even the most grotesque horrors don't scare most people now. Plus, you're all likely adults and you were first introduced to this story as children. You've probably been exposed to it several times. Ever consider that maybe, it's just not as easy to scare you as it used to be?
This ^^^!!! It really has a cartonish feel specially of the grand witch, the older interpretation had a more dark style of the witch more scary and grotesque.
Of course the original will always be better but I’m looking forward to seeing this and a new twist on it. I agree tho, the original was definitely creepy and I don’t get that vibe from this one. Especially the little girl in the painting. Sooo creepy!
@@moonsong2118 I'm looking forward to this movie too. I also wish they did a sequel instead of a reboot. Expanding the universe in a unique way with the same kind of tone.
When I started watching this trailer I was really hoping they would use practical effects, and not just all cgi... I was disappointed before the trailer even ended.
@@yun-jinlee3782 2020 doesn't have to mean cutting corners all the time, practical effects still have a place and are still a better option in some cases.
After scanning the comments section: "These folks need to chill! It's just a movie." I have not seen the first one but based on the reactions, it must have been a really great movie. It is better to think of them as two movies that share the same title, I guess. (English is not my native language, bear with me.) Now off to find the classic "The Witches" everyone is talking about! Woop! Edit: I have seen the classic version. It was fantastic! It was not scary for me though probably because I am already an adult but it was a delight watching it. I am still looking forward for the 2020 version. I think, it will be fun to watch not for the sake of comparing the two but to simply enjoy the movie itself. I hope all of you are safe during this trying times! Ciao! ☺️
i read roald dahls the BFG and couldn't put it down, not all authors can captivate like that, also i love this movie how it has incorporated adults, kids, animals,people of different colors, ,places, animation, fun, everything to blend in so seamlessly, cant wait to see it, seems like its going such an adventure 👍🙌🙌🙌
From the trailer looks like she did a great job. Plus Anne Hathaway is a brand in itself. She is a gay icon, she is there for the gay baiting... But Im just not interested in any remakes that utilize Black Actors. It’s kinda cheesy replacing characters with black actors especially those who were handed Oscars simply because they were black or fat. Its a kids movie, it didnt have to be too political.
Well there are some bold casting choices being made here, considering the fact the original is set in Britain and Norway and that's were the boy and the grandmother are from originally. I'm sure the movie will be fantastic though, sometimes it's good to be bold.

I'll see this. The original was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid.
This went into Stuart Little movie real quick.
IKR that’s what I was thinking
ya stuart little and hocus pocus mixed togetter.... lol
Y’all really haven’t seen the original
The voice over reminds me of Everybody Hates Chris 😂 (Yes, I know it’s Chris Rock)
Nah I understand, it brings that feeling back commentating his life, I do miss that show
I actually thought it was that. .
That's what I was thinking
Same
That’s what I was thinking too lol
Love what they did to The Four Tops "Reach Out" song at the end. :)
Awww I remember reading the book then I was little :)))
"Doesn't matter who you are....or what you look like, as long as somebody loves you" Seems like this line is stolen from one of my mom's iconic "confidence boosters" whenever i complain about feeling ugly.
What matters is our plan.
So your mom calls you ugly, too?
1990: Witches were scary and mice were real
2020: Witches are Disneyfied and mice are fake
Because those talking mice in the original weren't "fake"
This.
The 1990s version scared me when I was a kid lol but this one obviously seems more friendly haha.

@@BluDimeNailz Yeah, the 1990 version was really scary.
The classic was so good that I am anxious to watch this remake!! YAY!! :D
Loved the head witch in this movie! One of my favorite movies and believe me...I don't say that a lot when it comes to movies. This is only my second favorite movie in my entire life! Wish a part two would come out and bring back that head witch. She was awesome!
Obviously there’s no replacement for the original, but this doesn’t look bad actually
Oh...so there is an original .I guess u would love to watch that before thìs
Fizzy Whispers ASMR I loved the original when I was a kid
Yeah yeah iremember, thats why it looks familiar
i miss watcing whimsicle moviess
Well what you call an “original” isnt even an original its adaptated from Ronald Dahl’s book so i dont think there is a competition ffs
Lady gaga would have been perfect for the part, she has that elegance and wickedness.
Watch AHS her season then. She already did a Vamire Queen.
YES!!!!!!
okay, now i'm mad
@juju bone gurl seek help
Yep, she was terrifying on American Horror Story but also stunning like malificent
This kind of movie makes me feel like a kid again, I love it already!
So excited for this film! The book was one of my favorites!
Who doesn’t like Ms.Octavia? She's the real MVP
MVP? more like BLM.
@@eduardochavacano what?
@@eduardochavacano look at you playing the contrarian, I’m sure you’ll be the most popular kid on the playground
Isn't Anne Hathaway too beautiful to play this character? She's too angelic looking
Isn’t it just a mask? I mean “beautiful” on the outside and on the inside the true “ugliness” comes out. So I think it’s fine. I mean she kinda funny, hope she won’t be annoying in the movie 😂
I agree but i think its kind of a cute change from her playing the good and beautiful witch in Alice in Wonderland idk
kabadanke can I have a quote😂
@@dannit8209 yuo
Come on. Let’s give Anne a break. She’s been playing the lovable good guy characters or the pitiable characters her whole career. I’m sure she’s bored of it by now. Let her have fun playing a few villains.
Yes I got the book. So excited
so excited!! where can we watch this!??
I’m a simple person. I see Anne Hathaway, I click.
There is no replacing Rowan Atkinson and Angelica Huston.
🎀I agree.🎀
exactly
You're right! Angelica Huston is pure gold as the High Witch. Still,Anne Hathaway looks convincing.
it's not replacing when they are both based on the same thing lmao
Yeah idk why they picked Anna Hathaway for this role...seems very off.
I read this book when I was in elementary school. I'm 30 now and really want to watch this!
I used to read this book everyday and now it’s a movie yesss
I have so many questions. Why did they give her a Glasgow Smile like she's the Joker? Why aren't the witches scary?
have you not seen the original? i recommend it, are they are scary looking but they look good in the trailer bc it's like a disguise / human form
I'm gonna wait till the movie comes out because I recon they want to hide the reveal for the final thing
@@calumconkie8094 I hope so! The spookiness of the witches in the original was EVERYTHING.
@@TheLizzifer it’s not based on the original it’s based on the book. Not a remake, a reimagining.
@@andreas6713 the original one is a book
"It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, as long as somebody loves you"
Nice movie. Love Anne Hathaway and all her movies
This looks fantastic! Can’t wait for the nostalgia of reading this book 27 years ago to be reimagined on screen again. Looks like a great adaptation! 😃
The Witches 90s movie TERRIFIED ME as a child and I still can't look at them without wincing! This really looks good and pretty exciting as well! I can't wait to see what the Witches look, I wonder (and hope) they're going full horror prosthetics NOT CGI.
By the looks of it, it seems they are going full CGI. It’s a shame because it always pulls me out of a story.
@@zaza588 I know, it does seem that way. CGI can be great when it's in the hands of the best artists. The mice look great but I really want the Witches too look as real as possible.
This is a REMAKE of the 1990 The Witches. Horrible, horrible, horrible. What's next a black Snow white?? An Afrocentric sleepy beauty?
Ms. จารุณี wo dude, we’re just talking about special effects here
I had freaking nightmares for years. Also read the book as prescribed work. Didnt help with the nightmares...
I would die for Octavia Spencer and Anne Hathaway
Stupid fool
Then you are an idiot 🙄
I've read this!.... i loved it so much!.... can't wait to watch it!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I'm intrigued. Brings back memories of the old one!!☺😊🥰
I'm excited! Mostly to see Anne Hathaway play an evil witch! Been dying to see her play a badass villain! 😁 Grew up with and loved the 1990 movie so I'm super excited to see what this one will be like! I did hear this one will stay true to the book.
Is sad when a movie made in 2020 looks way worse (CGI and other things) than a movie made nearly 30 years ago
Not Cgi is the problems but the persons and the actors.
EXACTLY they need to stop remaking our childhoods. Angelica Huston was amazing. It’s just like come on pick another children’s book - hello! Do something original
Georgia Ade producers were hoping the adults,which were children back then, would watch this movie with their children now. That is why all the remakes. Disney included
taxol2 that’s true! I should be more sympathetic taxol2
What's CGI everyone is talking about it?
I just remembered watching the first witches when I was lil omg
Love!!!
Can’t wait.
Nevermind. The CGI is giving me a headache, I can’t do this.
This is by far the best comment
Everyone being like "It's not scary"
Ever consider you're the problem with that, not the movie? After all, I've noticed a trend where people in general are harder to scare with fictional stories. Even the most grotesque horrors don't scare most people now. Plus, you're all likely adults and you were first introduced to this story as children. You've probably been exposed to it several times.
Ever consider that maybe, it's just not as easy to scare you as it used to be?
Or perhaps they were just kids when they saw the 90’s one so it had a greater effect on them.
Sorry, not me. I watch Asian horror movies, and i watch between my fingers.
LordofFullmetal, you are right.
We still have to wait for the skin pulling scene
Um no.... Im an adult now and honestly ...original movie scares the shit out of me ....they have a lot of disgusting scenes in it .....
Hell yeah, Octavia Spencer! She's earning them roles left and right. Good to see her on the screen more often
I love both
I remember being absolutely terrified with the 90’s version
Haha Same
Anne Hathaway has nothing on Angelica Houston, who was actually terrifying in that role.
They could have chose Charlize Theron or maybe sigourney Weaver she was the evil witch in that Snow White movie during that time year's ago 😎
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Non dire cazzate per favore... Anne Hathaway è bravissima in ogni caso... Basta!!! 😐
Of course not but I think she's still a brilliant actress
I really don't think we saw enough of her tbh.
Octavia is one of my fav actresses
Love it. Can't wait to watch it with my family.
Interesting but i like the old movie better... This looks too catoon-ish... The old one had bit of serious creepy moments.
This ^^^!!! It really has a cartonish feel specially of the grand witch, the older interpretation had a more dark style of the witch more scary and grotesque.
I agree. Love the cast but looks cheap
Of course the original will always be better but I’m looking forward to seeing this and a new twist on it. I agree tho, the original was definitely creepy and I don’t get that vibe from this one. Especially the little girl in the painting. Sooo creepy!
@@moonsong2118 I'm looking forward to this movie too. I also wish they did a sequel instead of a reboot. Expanding the universe in a unique way with the same kind of tone.
True.Hathaway's got the acting range of a toaster.She couldn't polish Angelica Hutson's shoes.
When I started watching this trailer I was really hoping they would use practical effects, and not just all cgi... I was disappointed before the trailer even ended.
same with me
my thoughts exactly
if you want practical effects watch the original version, its 2020 now just so you know x
@@yun-jinlee3782 2020 doesn't have to mean cutting corners all the time, practical effects still have a place and are still a better option in some cases.
After scanning the comments section: "These folks need to chill! It's just a movie." I have not seen the first one but based on the reactions, it must have been a really great movie. It is better to think of them as two movies that share the same title, I guess. (English is not my native language, bear with me.) Now off to find the classic "The Witches" everyone is talking about! Woop!
Edit: I have seen the classic version. It was fantastic! It was not scary for me though probably because I am already an adult but it was a delight watching it. I am still looking forward for the 2020 version. I think, it will be fun to watch not for the sake of comparing the two but to simply enjoy the movie itself. I hope all of you are safe during this trying times! Ciao! ☺️
It's on Netflix
@@jacobmichard1229 Not in the Philippines 😁
@@marah819 oh
I can’t wait for this movie!! So excited!! Looks so good!!
I loved the Roald Dahl book when I was a kid
i read roald dahls the BFG and couldn't put it down, not all authors can captivate like that, also i love this movie how it has incorporated adults, kids, animals,people of different colors, ,places, animation, fun, everything to blend in so seamlessly, cant wait to see it, seems like its going such an adventure 👍🙌🙌🙌
FINALLY, I LOVED THIS STORY AS A KID!
Ansiosa por verla
Anne Hathaway’s a fine choice, but she has some big shoes to fill. Anjelica Huston killed in the original.
From the trailer looks like she did a great job. Plus Anne Hathaway is a brand in itself. She is a gay icon, she is there for the gay baiting... But Im just not interested in any remakes that utilize Black Actors. It’s kinda cheesy replacing characters with black actors especially those who were handed Oscars simply because they were black or fat. Its a kids movie, it didnt have to be too political.
Well there are some bold casting choices being made here, considering the fact the original is set in Britain and Norway and that's were the boy and the grandmother are from originally. I'm sure the movie will be fantastic though, sometimes it's good to be bold.
I think it's a fresh take on the whole story. And Olivia Spencer as the grandmother is an amazing choice.
I was a little confused by that too, but I think it's a great having Spencer as the grandmother.
Due to the accents. I feel like the grandma and the boy are American. That’s why they say it’s re-imagined.
I don't think it matters where it's set, as long as the story remains true to the Real Dahl story :)
Wow, i remember this movie in 1990.. One of my Childhood favorite movie! Yeah! REMAKE! awesome!!
This looks nice but she will never replace angelica Houston
