Director Kenneth Branagh has a new tale to tell and it involves fairies, a 12-year-old criminal mastermind, and Dame Judi Dench. The tale in question is Artemis Fowl, based on the young-adult novels from author Eoin Colfer and now we have a new teaser trailer courtesy of Disney.
Kenneth Branagh has been developing this adaptation for quite some time and now the fruits of his labor are coming to fruition.
