It’s time to jog our childhood memories of every fairy tale we’ve heard or watched till now. Netflix is releasing The School For Good and Evil, based on the best-selling book series of the same name by Soman Chainani. The titular school is a harbor for all, whether you’re a fairy-tale hero or a villain.
Directed by Paul Feig, the film will destabilize the pre-conceived notions of good and evil. As most stories of the kind go, they often distinguish between the two as being either a light or dark existence, with black and white symbolizing them respectively. However, as far as Chainani’s novels are concerned, teenagers came to adore the storyline due to incorporation of the morally grey characterization of an individual, which prevents them for being put into singular boxes defining their identity.
Here’s all that we need to know about the upcoming movie, that’s set to translate the much-loved and appreciated books and their themes on to the big screen.
The School For Good and Evil Cast
