Trailer: The Boxtrolls

The creators of Coraline and ParaNorman are back at it again, this time with a whole new breed of family in their latest venture The Boxtrolls, from Focus Features.

The Boxtrolls tells the story of a community of gritty and michevious creatures who have raised an orphaned human boy in their home beneath the streets of Cheesebridge.  When the local villain schemes to rid the town of the Boxtrolls, Eggs is forced to venture above ground and hatch a plan of his own to save his family.

Directed by Anthony Staachi and Graham Annable and featuring voice work by Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Elle Fanning, Jared Harris, Toni Collette, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Tracy Morgan, The Boxtrolls is set to hit theaters on September 26, 2014. Can't wait that long?  No worries, we've got the new trailer to hold you over!

About Stephen Davis

Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
