The House With a Clock in Its Walls
Eli Roth of all people is adapting this 1973 gothic novel by John Bellairs about a good Michigan warlock (played by Jack Black), a hidden doomsday clock, and an evil widow. Will the crown prince of torture porn be able to capture the gloomy charm of Bellairs’s fantasy and Edward Gorey’s illustration? Cate Blanchett and Kyle MacLachlan are on hand to help out.
