How do you turn a 30-some-page picture book into a full-length movie? You add a lot, as the just-released trailer for Disney’s live-action movie based on Judith Viorst’s 1972 classic, Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Atheneum) indicates.

Directed by Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right), it stars Ed Oxenbould as Alexander, Steve Carrell as his father, Jennifer Garner, his mother. Dylan Minnette plays the older brother and Kerris Dorsey, his sister. The movie arrives in theaters on Oct. 10.

Tie-ins have not been announced.
