Carrie Fisheris not your average witch inWonderwell.
On Friday, Strange Quark Filmsreleased the trailer forthe upcoming fantasy film, which marks Fisher’s final big-screen role. The project will debut in theaters and on digital more than seven years after her death.
According to an official synopsis, the movie follows a girl named Violet (newcomer Kiera Milward) who “is living in Italy with her American parents and her beautiful older sister, Savannah (Nell Tiger Free). When Savannah is selected to be the face of world-renowned designer Yana’s (Rita Ora) fashion label, the family travels to an enchanting medieval village for a photo shoot.”
The 90-second preview opens with the adventure-seeking Violet falling through a well while exploring in the woods, where she soon comes face to face with Fisher’s character.
“Are you the witch?” Violet asks her, to which Hazel replies with a smile, “Thewitch orawitch?”

“Fancy meeting you here,” Hazel says.
“You know the rules: The forest is yours, the town is mine,” Yana tells her, not unthreateningly.
Hazel proceeds to tell Yana that Violet “isn’t usual,” but Yana insists, “She’s not yours.”
Near the end of the trailer, Hazel tells Violet, “Life can be just as magical as this garden, only it’s a lot more fun.”
