Focus Features’ A Monster Calls premier in NY was Wednesday, December 7th at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square with a party at the Plaza Hotel’s Palm Court.
Liam Neeson, Sigourney Weaver, Critics’ Choice 2017 Nominee Lewis MacDougall, director J.A. Bayona, screenwriter/author Patrick Ness and producer Belén Atienza, with additional guests Margaret Colin and Colby Minifie attended the premier and party.
The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 23rd (It’s a Holiday Season gift from Focus Features for those celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa) and nationwide January 6, 2017.
A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age. His beloved and devoted mother (Felicity Jones) is ill. He has little in common with his imperious grandmother (Sigourney Weaver). His father (Toby Kebbell) has resettled thousands of miles away. But Conor finds a most unlikely ally when the Monster (portrayed by Liam Neeson in performance-capture and voiceover) appears at his bedroom window one night. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.
