Critical popcorn

As I first mentioned when the teasers came out, I was never quite brave enough to take on the stage version of Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson‘s Ghost Stories in London but now that the film version is with us… it looks just as terrifying but I’m sold!

What backing up my hope is great reviews from the London Film Festival last year and so now Lionsgate have released a global trailer for Ghost Stories to keep the intriguing interest ticking over, right up to Friday 13th April 2018 when it’s released onto the unsuspecting public.

Based on Dyson and Nyman’s original Olivier nominated stage production, the same team have co-written and directed this adaptation for the big screen, Nyman leads the cast, reprising his role as Professor Goodman alongside Paul Whitehouse, Alex Lawther and Martin Freeman – here’s some official stuff with the trailer below:

Phillip Goodman, professor of psychology, arch-skeptic, the one-man ‘belief buster’ – has his rationality tested to the hilt when he receives a letter apparently from beyond the grave. His mentor Charles Cameron, the ‘original’ TV parapsychologist went missing fifteen years before, presumed dead and yet now he writes to Goodman saying that the pair must meet. Cameron, it seems, is still very much alive….

GHOST STORIES comes to UK cinemas on Friday 13th April 2018, with further dates to be confirmed.
