On top of directing and co-writing The Witches, Zemeckis is producing with Jack Rapke through their ImageMovers banner. Speaking of the 1990 movie, Zemeckis’s take is said to be a more faithful adaptation of Dahl’s original novel than its predecessor. If ink meets paper for all of these actors, Spencer would play the grandmother character while Bruno would play her grandson and Eastick would play the other main boy, who happened to be named Bruno in the 1990 film adaptation of the same name starring Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch. In addition to Spencer joining the cast it’s also being reported that Jahzir Bruno and Codie-Lei Eastick are currently in negotiations for roles, and that Black-ish creator and writer of the upcoming Shaft and Coming to America sequels Kenya Barris will now be co-writing the screenplay with Zemeckis. Earlier today we saw an official trailer for one of Spencer’s latest, a horror titled Ma.

The Grandma in the Witches movie (‘Helga’) was played by a Swedish actress called Mai Zetterling, and the little boy ‘Luke’ was Jasen Fisher, an American actor who also starred in Hook and Parenthood. When the porter first knocked on Mr Atkinson’s door he was told to “go away, I am asleep”.
The flood reached the ground floor from his second-floor bedroom and all the equipment (photocopier, electric typewriters etc) in the film’s production office in the first-floor bedroom was written off. On one occasion he ran a bath and went to bed without turning the taps off. Rowan Atkinson played the hotel manager, and he is very like Mr Bean in real life – rather eccentric. Enormous bouquets of roses would be delivered for her, and the girls on the switchboard would become very excited when he telephoned to speak to her, as there were no mobiles then.
