Laurence Fishburne

Laurence Fishburne will be seen in the film adaptation of The School For Good and Evil. He will be sharing the screen with Michelle Yeoh, Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Sofia Wyle and Sophia Anne Caruso.

The actor will play the schoolmaster in the film, which is shot in Northern Ireland, and will stream on Netflix next year. The story is based on American author Soman Chainani's 2013 book, The School For Good And Evil.

Roth Kirschenbaum's Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Feigco's Feig and Laura Fischer and Jane Startz are on board as producers. David Magee and Feig have adapted the book for the big screen.

The story follows best friends, Sophie and Agatha, who find themselves attending a school where kids are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. "Their friendship will be put to the test in this thrilling and comedic story where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one," the film's description reads. The School For Good and Evil is the first book of the six in the series penned by Chainani. The final book, The School of Good and Evil: One True King, released in June last year.
