Watch Sophia Lillis in the 'Gretel & Hansel' trailer

Following a first look at star Sophia Lillis revealed last week, Orion Pictures has brought online the first trailer for their dark fairy tale reimagining Gretel & Hansel. Lillis, who next reprises her role as Beverly Marsh in the hugely anticipated It: Chapter Two, will play one half of the title sibling pair in the 2020 release from director Osgood “Oz” Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House). Check out the trailer in the player below!

A long time ago in a distant fairytale countryside, a young girl, Gretel (Lillis) leads her little brother (Sammy Leakey) into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.

Gretel & Hansel also stars Alice Krige (The OA, Star Trek: First Contact), Jessica De Gouw (Underground, Arrow) and Charles Babalola (Black Mirror, The Legend of Tarzan).

Scripted by Rob Hayes (Chewing Gum) and produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Sinister, Upgrade) and Fred Berger (La La Land, Destroyer) on behalf of Automatik, Gretel & Hansel is executive produced by Sandra Yee Ling and Macdara Kelleher. Look for it to hit the big screen beginning January 31, 2020.
