Andrew Garfield & Claire Foy Star in The Magic Faraway Tree Teaser Trailer

The official teaser trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of The Magic Faraway Tree has been released, starring Golden Globe winners Andrew Garfield (Tick, Tick… Boom!) and Claire Foy (The Crown). It is based on Enid Blyton’s 1943 children’s fantasy novel of the same name.

“The film follows Polly and Tim and their children Beth, Joe, and Fran, a modern family who find themselves forced to relocate to the remote English countryside,” reads the movie’s initial synopsis. “Soon after the family arrives in the countryside, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including treasured characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot, and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.”
