Stan shares first look at fantasy adventure film The Portable Door

Stan has released the trailer for the Stan original film The Portable Door, premiering on Stan on April 7, the same day as the UK and US.

The magical fantasy adventure film stars Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, No Time to Die) and multi-Golden Globe nominee Sam Neill (Peter Rabbit, Jurassic Park franchise), alongside Patrick Gibson (The OA, Tolkien).

Additionally, the film has an all-star Australian cast, including Sophie Wilde (Stan Original Series Eden, You Don’t Know Me), Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians), Jessica De Gouw (The Secrets She Keeps, The Legend of Molly Johnson), New Zealand’s Rachel House (Heartbreak High, Thor: Ragnarok), Arka Das (Shantaram, Lion) and Damon Herriman (Stan Original Series The Tourist).

Filmed in Queensland, Australia, the film follows Paul Carpenter (Gibson) and Sophie Pettingel (Wilde), the lowly, put-upon interns who begin working at the mysterious London firm J.W. Wells & Co. and become steadily aware that their employers are anything but conventional.

Charismatic villains Humphrey Wells (Waltz), the CEO of the company, and middle manager Dennis Tanner (Neill) are disrupting the world of magic by bringing modern corporate strategy to ancient magical practices, and Paul and Sophie discover the true agenda of the vast corporation where they work.

Adapted from Tom Holt’s eponymous seven-book fantasy series, the film is directed by award-winning Australian director Jeffrey Walker (Ali’s Wedding, Stan Original Series The Commons) from a screenplay adapted by Australian writer Leon Ford (Griff the Invisible).

A Jim Henson Company and Story Bridge Films production, The Portable Door is produced by Todd Fellman from Story Bridge Films (Daybreakers, Bait 3D) and Bianca Lista (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance).

The Portable Door premieres on Stan from 7 April, same day as the U.K. and U.S and hits cinemas 23 March.
