Disney this week shares the official teaser trailer for upcoming film, Artemis Fowl, based on the young adult fantasy novel of the same name by Eoin Colfer. The movie centers around a 12-year-old genius, Artemis Fowl, who comes from a long line of criminal masterminds. Fowl is ultimately in search of his father who has mysteriously disappeared.

While looking for his dad, with the help of a family protector named Butler, Artemis stumbles upon an ancient, underground civilization filled with fairies. The boy is convinced that this group of individuals has something to do with the disappearance of his father, then finding himself engaged in a war of wits with the fairy population.

Ferdia Shaw stars as Artemis Fowl in the anticipated Disney picture, alongside Lara McDonnell, Judi Dench, Josh Gad, Nonso Anozie, Tamara Smart, and Miranda Raison, among others. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Artemis Fowl is scheduled to release in US theaters on August 9, 2019.
