This adaptation of Witches will stand alongside an audio reading, a stage play, a radio dramatization, an opera, and a 1990 film with Anjelica Huston and Rowan Atkinson. The film will be released exclusively on HBO Max on October 22nd, just in time for Halloween. The film also stars Stanley Tucci as a hotel manager unwittingly hosting the witches’ convention, Kristin Chenoweth, and Chris Rock as the adult narration of Bruno’s young boy. With the help of his tough-but-loving grandmother ( Octavia Spencer), they must try to stop their evil plan to turn all the world’s children into mice. Roald Dahl’s The Witches spins a yarn about a young boy ( Jahzir Bruno) who stumbles on a secret coven of witches led by the sly and menacing Grand High Witch ( Anne Hathaway).
