Disney has unveiled the second trailer for the fantasy The Nutcracker and The Four Realms [NUTFR], which is shorter than the first teaser. Also not a good sign, Lasse Hallström [LHALL] and Joe Johnston share the directing credit, a first for a non-duo according to the DGA. The Nutcracker and The Four Realms opens on November 2nd.
All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
