Studio Canal have premiered the teaser trailer for the new film adaptation of the Enid Blyton’s classic children’s novel “The Magic Faraway Tree”.
The story follows Tim (Andrew Garfield), Polly (Claire Foy) and their three children – a modern family forced to relocate to the remote English countryside.
As they adapt to their new lives, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface (Nonso Anozie), Silky (Nicola Coughlan), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning) and Saucepan Man (Dustin Demri-Burns).
At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.
Rebecca Ferguson and Jennifer Saunders co-star in the film. Simon Farnaby (“Wonka,” “Paddington 2”) penned the script, whilst Ben Gregor (“Britannia,” “Cuckoo”) directs. Pippa Harris, Nicolas Brown, Danny Perkins and Jane Hooks produce.
Neal Street Productions, Elysian Film Group, and Ashland Hill Media Finance are backing the project, which will release via Entertainment Film Distributors in the UK and Ireland cinemas on March 27th.
