Inspired by the classic tale and ballet, a new Disney film will open in theaters in 2018, and will star Keira Knightley, Mackenzie Foy, Helen Mirren, and Morgan Freeman.
After sharing teaser posts online on the upcoming live-action holiday feature film, Disney finally reveals the very first trailer of “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” in time for the holidays!
All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – 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. It’s there that 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.
