Out goes Damon, in comes Theron!
We previously reported that Paul Feig, the director of Bridesmaids and The Heat, is heading to Ireland for his new movie, The School For Good And Evil.
The Netflix production is set to be filmed at the Belfast Harbour Studio, and the first big names have been attached to the project.
Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde, Mad Max: Fury Road) and Kerry Washington (Prom, Little Fires Everywhere) are to play two of the teachers and the school.
Feig made the following statement about the new cast members:
“I am so thrilled to have Charlize and Kerry in this film. I was honoured to work with Charlize back on Arrested Development and have been dying to work with her again ever since. And I’ve been such a massive fan of Kerry’s forever and to finally find something for us to do together is just more proof that 2021 is gonna be way way better than 2020.”
As for the movie itself, here is Netflix’s official synopsis:
“Best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where fairy-tale legacies go to school: the School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. With her princess ambitions, Sophie knows she’ll be picked for the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella and Snow White.
“Meanwhile, Agatha, with her grim aesthetic and wicked cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil. Yet soon the girls find their fortunes reversed: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, Agatha into the School for Good. But what if the mistake is the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are? Their friendship will be put to the test in this thrilling and comedic story where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one.”
We should expect to see The School For Good And Evil some time in 2022.
