The first trailer and release date for Netflix's upcoming fantasy movie The School for Good & Evil has just dropped.

We can see leading stars Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington dressed in glamorous gowns and dazzling diamonds.

The sets and special effects help transform Belfast's Harbour Studio and Loop studios. Filming there took place last summer.

What is The School for Evil & Good about?

A film adaptation of Soman Chainani’s best-selling YA fantasy series, The School for Good and Evil follows best friends Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie) as they navigate an enchanted school for young heroes and villains — and find themselves on opposing sides of the battle between good and evil.

Director Paul Feig, who directed comedy favourite Bridesmaids, shared his delight at working here in Northern Ireland.

He wrote: It’s a wrap, Belfast! My last wee pint before I leave. Ending a movie is always bittersweet because most of you is exhausted but even more of you (even the exhausted parts) is sad.

"Sad to leave a new town you love, sad to leave all the amazing people you worked with, and sad to not get to shoot fun scenes each day with a cast you love. But it’s also exciting to have it all in the can and know that you get to go into the editing room and start the task of putting it all together and making it work. So, thank you, Belfast (and @mchughsbarbelfast!) for hosting all our fun times and hard work. Hope to see you again soon! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

When can we watch The School for Good & Evil?
