Illumination and Universal Pictures have dropped the first trailer for their new CG animated film The Grinch. Yep, Dr. Seuss‘ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! gets another adaptation.
Benedict Cumberbatch voices the not-so-lovable Grinch. Who else might be cast in the film has not been stated yet, but we will keep you posted. Wouldn’t it be awesome if it was narrated by Martin Freeman?
The Grinch was directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier. It was written by Michael LeSieur. This is third adaptation of the children’s holiday book. The last adaptation was live-action starring Jim Carrey.
Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations. When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas. To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.
Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who-a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer-plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother. As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheme threatens to collide with the Grinch’s more nefarious one. Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus? Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all?
The Grinch is set to hit theaters November 9th, 2018.
