‘Imaginary’ Trailer – Demonic Bear and Other Creepy Entities Come to Life

After playing ahead of Five Nights at Freddy’s and teasing its arrival with an adorable motion poster, the trailer for Lionsgate and Blumhouse’s Imaginary is finally here. And it dares to tap into the concept of childhood innocence and imaginary friends, “Are they really figments of childhood imagination or is something more terrifying lying just beneath?”

Get ready to meet Chauncey. He’s not imaginary… and he’s not your friend, either.

The trailer has shades of Little Monsters, Drop Dead Fred, and Child’s Play.

DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion) will both star in and produce Imaginary, which is scheduled for theatrical release on March 8, 2024.

In the original horror movie, “Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family. Her youngest stepdaughter Alice develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement.  Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”

The film also stars Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, and Pyper Braun, with Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.

Blumhouse’s Jason Blum will produce, with Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Kick-Ass 2, Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island, The Curse of Bridge Hollow) producing and directing.

Wadlow previously told Deadline of Wise’s casting, “DeWanda has been more than a star on this movie – she has been a full creative partner. So much of horror grows out of our most basic fears from childhood, and DeWanda taps into all of that. You know that old saying that the audience’s imagination is scarier than any movie? We’re going to put that to the test.”
