Every trailer so far for J.A. Bayona’s (The Impossible, The Orphanage) A Monster Calls has kept the titular monster under wraps, instead relying on Liam Neeson’s raspy vocals to create a sense of wonder and mystery for this adaption of the classic children’s fantasy novel.

Sharing DNA with both The BFG and Where The Wild Things Are, this promises to be utterly fantastic, telling a story of pain, courage, and loss in a way we rarely see nowadays.
