White Bird A Wonder Story previews a story of hope
White Bird a Wonder Story tries to Inspire as it tells another story from the world of Wonder
White Bird: A Wonder Story is the sequel to the 2017 film Wonder. The film stars Bryce Gheisar as Julian Albans, the former bully of Auggie Pullman (Jacob Tremblay), who has been sent home from Beecher Prep for his behavior. Julian’s grandmother, Grandmère (Helen Mirren), visits him and shares a story from her past in Nazi-occupied France.
The White Bird trailer shows Grandmère as a young girl who is forced to go into hiding after the Nazis invade her town. She is sheltered by a young boy named Bruno (Ariella Glaser), who risks his own life to keep her safe. The two fall in love, and their story of courage and survival is a powerful reminder of the importance of kindness and compassion. It echoes much of the sentiment and emotion form the first Wonder movie with a strong emphasis on how we treat other people
The film is directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Christopher Robin) and is based on the graphic novel White Bird by R.J. Palacio. It is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 14, 2023.
