The Turning (2020, D: Sigismondi) S: Mackenzie Davis, Finn Wolfhard, Brooklynn Prince
In theaters January 24.
For more than 100 years, a deeply haunting tale has been passed down to terrify audiences. DreamWorks Pictures’ The Turning takes us to a mysterious estate in the Maine countryside, where newly appointed nanny Kate is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora and Miles. Quickly though, she discovers that both the children and the house are harboring dark secrets and things may not be as they appear.
Inspired by Henry James’ landmark novel, the haunted-house thriller is directed by spellbinding visualist Floria Sigismondi (The Runaways, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale) and stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, The Martian), Finn Wolfhard (It, Netflix’s Stranger Things), newcomer Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project) and Joely Richardson (Red Sparrow, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).
From writers Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes (The Conjuring), The Turning is produced by Scott Bernstein (Straight Outta Compton, Ride Along 2) and Roy Lee (It, The Lego Movie). Universal will release The Turning domestically and in select international territories.

I'll see this this weekend. I'm glad I dont have to see the trailer anymore (it seemed to be before every movie i've seen in the last 4 months)

The fact that I'm a huge fan of The Innocents - which was also based on Henry James' "The Turning of the Screw" - is the only reason I'm somewhat interested in seeing this adaptation, even though the trailer does not make it look very good. Hopefully it's just a bad trailer and the movie is better than that.

The only thing that interests me about it is Brooklynn Prince. When I saw The Florida Project, I honestly thought she was just some guttersnipe kid that Sean Baker found and told her to just be her shitty self while he rolled the camera. After all, that's pretty much what the person who played her mom in that film was. But that little kid was acting, and she's nothing like the character she portrayed. Watch the behind the scenes footage on the Blu-Ray. She often apologized profusely between takes for swearing on camera, and there's an amazing bit where she "gets into character", really focusing on the emotions her character is feeling.
