For the girls to attend schools and pursue the goals to which they are entitled, “only the kiss of real love” will do it, as teased by Netflix.

 

But when a shadowy entity with unknown ties to Sophie reappears and threatens to ruin the school and the world beyond, the only route to a happy ending is to survive their real-life fairytale first.

Feig explained the film’s central theme to Entertainment Weekly, saying, “[I]t’s basically just saying, ‘Look, we’re all people, we’re all human.

Later, he elaborated by saying “Even Agatha admits that at one point in the film: “You’re not bad, you’re simply human.” In my opinion, this is a vital message that should be communicated in a really original and engaging manner. Even though it’s all set in a fantastical realm, it has a lot of relevance to real life.”

On October 19th, Netflix will add The School for Good and Evil to its library. See what else is on with our TV Guide, or peruse our lists of the top Netflix shows and best Netflix movies.

The School for Good and Evil Trailer

An official teaser has arrived, offering moviegoers their first look at the film’s two opposing visual styles (good and evil).

As Charlize Theron’s character explains, “very sometimes a very lucky candidate from the outside is selected for entrance to this hallowed school,” we show Sophie and Agatha being kidnapped and brought into the institution by a stamp, a giant skeletal bird trained by the School Master.

We see what appear to be two separate campuses within the institution: the School for Good and the School for Evil, connected by a bridge that suggests the line between them is not as obvious as it first appears.
