‘The House with a Clock in Its Walls’ Debuts a Second Trailer and New Poster

Universal Pictures released a new trailer for the fantasy adventure, The House with a Clock in Its Walls. The new two and a half minute trailer finds Jack Black and Cate Blanchett worried about the clock which was left in the wall by the house’s former owner, an evil wizard.

Amblin Entertainment’s The House with a Clock in Its Walls is based on the popular children’s book by John Bellairs (illustrated by Edward Gorey). Eric Kripke (creator of The CW’s Supernatural) adapted the book for the screen and Eli Roth, best known for R-rated horror films, directed. Brad Fischer (Shutter Island) and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) served as producers. The film was executive produced by William Sherak, Tracey Nyberg, and Laeta Kalogridis.

In addition to Jack Black (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine, The Aviator), the cast includes Owen Vaccaro (Daddy’s Home 2), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Colleen Camp (The Truth About Lies), Renée Elise Goldsberry (Altered Carbon), Vanessa Anne Williams (Feed the Beast), Lorenza Izzo, and Sunny Suljic (The Killing of a Sacred Deer).

The House with a Clock in Its Walls will open in theaters on September 21, 2018.

The Plot: In the tradition of Amblin classics where fantastical events occur in the most unexpected places, Jack Black and two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett star in The House with a Clock in Its Walls, from Amblin Entertainment. The magical adventure tells the spine-tingling tale of 10-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his uncle in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his new town’s sleepy façade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead.
