Zachary Levi draws himself a world of pure imagination.
Sony Pictures has released the first official trailer for Harold and the Purple Crayon, giving fans a sense of the high-stakes and meta adaptation of the beloved children's book.
The trailer feels like Harold and the Purple Crayon is inspired by Free Guy and Barbie, with a healthy dose of the lovable manchild energy that Levi brings to the role of Shazam peppered in for good measure. And, perhaps surprisingly given the source material, it looks like there's going to be a big, CGI fight in the third act.Oscar nominee Carlos Saldanha directs the film from a screenplay by Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb creative team David Guion and Michael Handelman.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is one of those books that has been licensed a few times, but failed to make it all the way to the big screen. At one point, Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were attached to the project. Should the film be a hit, there is plenty of opportunity for follow-ups.
Directed by Carlos Saldanha in his live-action debut, Harold and the Purple Crayon is about the eponymous young boy who embarks on a magical mission with the help of his purple crayon. The adaptation of Crockett Johnson's bestselling children's book will star Zachary Levi , Lil Rel Howery , Zooey Deschanel , Ravi Patel , Camille Guaty , Tanya Reynolds , and Pete Gardner .
