A happy Halloween treat today, folks!
Warner Bros have decided that their new remake of Roald Dahl’s classic The Witches, given the current circumstances, will debut not in cinemas but rather on HBO Max on October 22nd! That’s three weeks!
I’m a big fan of Dahl’s book and the original movie, so I’m stoked for this remake took and Octavia Spencer as the grandmother? Oh, that’ll do nicely! And directed by Robert Zemeckis? With a story worked on by Guillermo Del Toro? Happy Halloween, indeed!
Check out the new poster (above) and trailer (below) and let me, as always, know your thoughts…
From the mind of Roald Dahl and as reimagined by acclaimed filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, The Witches is a wickedly fun adventure as a young boy stumbles onto a secret coven of child-hating witches as they plot to turn the world’s children into mice.
A fresh Halloween classic for this generation, in a story that celebrates courage, teamwork, and unlikely heroes, offering a completely distinct kids proposition with a quirky, delightfully twisted tone in classic Dahl style.
Streaming October 22 only on HBOMax.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
