The Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose trailer finds a para-psychologist investigating rumors about a creature on the Isle of Man.
While Hollywood continues to stall under the ongoing strike, mystery fans have something to look forward to this September. Paramount Pictures and Saban Films have released the Nandor Fodor & the Talking Mongoose Trailer, which teases a strange case that will make you question everything you see and listen to. Adam Signal (Chariot, Daydreamer, When the Starlight Ends) directs from a script he wrote about strange happenings on the Isle of Man circa 1935.
In the Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose trailer, a Hungarian-American para-psychologist, Nandor Fodor (Simon Pegg), begins investigating a strange occurrence in a distinctive community. The Irvings, an average British family, claim to have been contacted at their farm by a mysterious entity named Gef, a speaking mongoose. As Nandor Fodor falls deeper down the rabbit hole of Gef’s existence and whereabouts on the property, uncertainty, and madness take hold as things spiral out of control.
Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One), Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Speechless), and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future, Nobody, Piranha 3D) lead the cast, with author Neil Gaiman as the voice of Gef the Mongoose. Paul Kaye, Ruth Connell, Tim Downie, Gary Beadle, Edmund Kingsley, Drew Moerlein, and Jessica Balmer also star.
“Neil is one-of-a-kind and his creativity is unlimited,” co-producer Clare Bateman-King told Deadline in December. “This is such a vital part of the film and we really needed somebody who could bring a powerful and effective energy to voice the mongoose. Neil’s involvement has been a lot of fun and we are excited to hear the audience’s reaction when they hear his version of the fabled Mongoose ‘Gef’. Gaiman revealed, “I first learned about Gef, a mysterious talking mongoose when I was in school, in a book full of true ghost stories.
“I never imagined I would be narrating or even providing the voice of Gef in a film. But the chance to work with old friends like Simon Pegg and Minnie Driver was irresistible, and I hope very much I have managed to do the mysterious mongoose justice.”Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose is based (possibly) on actual events! The film scurries into theaters on
September 1, 2023.
