This fantasy film follows the adventures of a titular young criminal prodigy who’s trying to solve the mystery of his father’s disappearance. This highly-anticipated adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s novel was supposed to premiere on May 29th, but it will head to the recently-launched streaming service Disney+ instead.

Ricky Strauss, president of content and marketing for Disney+, said the streamer is thrilled to give this film its Disney+ premiere as the audience is largely unable to attend theatres in the current environment.

“Director Kenneth Branagh and his spectacular cast take viewers right into the vibrant, fantasy world of the beloved book, which fans have been waiting to see brought to life onscreen for years. It’s great family entertainment that is the perfect addition to Disney+’s summer lineup,” said Strauss in a statement.

Based on the book series by Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl follows the adventures of a seemingly ordinary 12-year old boy who just happens to be a criminal mastermind. He comes up with a diabolical plan to kidnap a magical fairy and ask for large ransom, hoping that’s all it takes to restore his family fortune.

Disney picked Kenneth Branagh to bring this amazing story to the big screen, and based on the trailer alone – they made the perfect choice. This isn’t Branagh’s first ride on the rodeo, since he already helmed the live-action remake of Cinderella. He also directed the first Thor movie, shortly before the merger between Disney and Marvel took place.

Casting was one of the hardest parts of the pre-production process, since 1,200 boys showed up for the audition in hope they’ll get to play titular character. Ferdia Shaw came out victorious, while Lara McDonnell won the role of the fairy Holly Short.

We can’t wait to see what these newcomer bring to the table when Artemis Fowl hits the theaters on August 9, 2019.
