“When kindness can cost you your life, it becomes like a miracle.” Lionsgate has released another brand new 2024 release trailer for the movie White Bird, formerly known as White Bird: A Wonder Story. A sort of “spin-off” from the Wonder movie with Jacob Tremblay & Julia Roberts. Based on the graphic novel, it’s a harrowing WWII survival story. The movie is about a boy named Julian who meets his French grandmother, who shares her story: how she, a young Jewish girl, was hidden by a family in a Nazi-occupied French village during World War II; how the boy she and her classmates once shunned became her savior and best friend. From Marc Forster (the director of Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin) White Bird, like Wonder before it, is an emotional story about how empathy for others can make a difference in the world. Starring Helen Mirren, Gillian Anderson, Bryce Gheisar, Ariella Glaser, & Orlando Schwerdt. Strangely this movie has now been delayed for a full two years – originally set for 2022, then for August 2023, finally now for October 2024. I actually think this looks pretty good, not sure why it has been held back so much.

Here’s the new 2024 official trailer for Marc Forster’s White Bird, direct from Lionsgate’s YouTube:

For millions of readers and moviegoers, Wonder is the captivating, inspiring, and uplifting story of the power of kindness – how it can build bridges and change hearts. In White Bird: A Wonder Story, kindness has the power to save lives, as Julian Albans, the bully who left Beecher Prep, is visited by his Grandmère from Paris and is transformed by her remarkable story of compassion and courage. As a girl in Nazi-occupied France, the young Grandmère goes into hiding with the help of a schoolmate, a young man who risks everything to give her the chance to survive. Together, they find beauty and love in the secret world of their own creation. White Bird: A Wonder Story is directed by acclaimed German filmmaker Marc Forster, of Loungers, Everything Put Together, Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland, Stay, Stranger Than Fiction, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace, Machine Gun Preacher, World War Z, and All I See Is You previously. The screenplay is written by Mark Bomback, adapted from R.J. Palacio’s book of the same name. Lionsgate will release White Bird: A Wonder Story in theaters on October 4th, 2024 in the fall next year.
