Official Trailer for THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY on Netflix

PRESS: "When it rains, it pours... From the minds of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy is the story of a super-dysfunctional family of superheroes who have eight days to get it together and save the world."


Yet another eagerly awaited comicbook-to-live-action adaptation, although I am a tad cautious about this particular notion, because it is not necessarily a "straight-forward" kind of story, and I am just worried that with a slew of character quirks in the comic book incarnation (Yes, I'd adored them ALL, still waiting for "Hotel Oblivion", thanks), they "might" crossover to the reel-world being too "cliched", with most such adaptations losing the sense of imagination when we first read the book, IMHO.

Nevertheless, "Dr Pogo (the talking chimpanzee) worked for me, so i'm looking forward to when 10 episodes of "The Umbrella Academy" premieres 15th February 2019 on Netflix!
