Joey King is reminding us to be careful what we wish for thanks to the trailer for her new movie Wish Upon!
The upcoming horror film also stars Sydney Park and Shannon Purser, among others, and things turn deadly when Joey‘s character starts making some wishes that really come true.
The film is about a 17-year-old girl named Clare (King) who is bullied in high school, embarrassed by her manic, hoarder father Jonathan (Ryan Phillippe) and ignored by her longtime crush. All that changes when her father comes home with an old music box whose inscription promises to grant its owner seven wishes.
While Clare is initially skeptical of this magic box, she can’t help but be seduced by its dark powers, and is thrilled as her life radically improves with each wish. Clare finally has the life she’s always wanted and everything seems perfect – until the people closest to her begin dying in violent and elaborate ways after each wish. Clare realizes that she must get rid of the box, but finds herself unable and unwilling to part with her new-and-improved life – leading her down a dark and dangerous path.
“Well, she has an incredibly famous mother and a moderately famous father, but that’s how that works. And also social media is largely driven by the youth and the associations made within that group. She’s incredibly talented,” Ava‘s dad Ryan recently told People.
He added, “The danger would be if you had a kid who didn’t have perspective and didn’t have an understanding of it. I don’t feel like our kids are as caught up in the value that some might place on those things. It’s a byproduct of the life that they’ve been born into.”
