Columbia Pictures has released a set of character promo photos featuring the monsters that will be highlighted in the upcoming Goosebumps movie. These were released as part of a Create a Meme contest that they are holding. I enjoyed the book series and the 1990s TV series, so I'm really hoping that this turns out to be a fun movie.
The movie was directed by Rob Letterman, and it stars Jack Black, Amy Ryan, Ken Marino, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Jillian Bell, and Ryan Lee. Here’s the synopsis:
In Goosebumps, upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.
The movie will hit theaters in April 2015.
