The movie is just scary enough, and perfect for a young audience. And, oh yeah, everyone in the story is a magician. Zimmermann (Blanchett), they race to find the clock in the walls - a clock that has the potential to obliterate all human kind if it goes off. Lewis thinks that his new life will be ordinary, but as strange things begin to happen he realizes he is wrong. The movie (and the book) follow the life of recently orphaned Lewis Barnavelt, who is sent to live with his Uncle Jonathan (Black), according to IMDB. And now, the book is a major motion picture and in theaters this weekend. Bellairs even won the New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year Award and the American Library Association Children’s Books of International Interest Award for this book, according to Penguin Random House. yes! The House With A Clock In Its Walls is a best-selling young adult book written in 1973 by John Bellairs, who is known for his supernaturally themed stories, according to Penguin Random House. It's full of eerie twists and turns and a few spooky surprises, but the story may sound familiar to moviegoers and some may be wondering if The House With A Clock In Its Walls is based on a book. Blanchett carries off this part with a lightness and elegance that speaks of her absolute professionalism rather than any great connection with the material.Halloween is hitting the big screen early this year with the release of a new movie starring Jack Black and Kate Blanchett. Jack Black phones in his performance as the waxy-faced warlock Jonathan Barnavelt Cate Blanchett plays Jonathan’s similarly gifted neighbour and quarrelsome pal Mrs Zimmerman.
Lewis is still coming to terms with the death of his parents and learning a new supernatural skill. But, in the larger and more obvious sense, it is basically another post-Potter, post-His-Dark-Materials knockoff, machine-tooled for the tweenie fanbase, about a kid called Lewis (Owen Vaccaro), heartbreakingly lonely and well-mannered, with a quasi-Brit bowtie (does he really tie that thing up every morning, or is it a clip-on?) and sporting an annoying pair of goggles for no very compelling or amusing reason. It is adapted by screenwriter Eric Kripke from a children’s fantasy novel published in 1973 by the US author John Bellairs. S hockmeister Eli Roth takes on something cosier and comfier than usual with this family-oriented movie about an orphan boy who goes to live with his eccentric and mysterious uncle in a spooky old-timey house, full of clocks.
