White Bird: A Wonder Story Movie Storyline. From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter. In White Bird: A Wonder Story, we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger.
They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, White Bird: A Wonder Story, like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.
White Bird: A Wonder Story is an upcoming American war drama film directed by Marc Forster and written by Mark Bomback, based on the 2019 graphic novel of the same name by R. J. Palacio. A spin-off/prequel and “companion piece” to the 2017 coming-of-age film Wonder, based on Palacio’s 2012 novel, the film stars Ariella Glaser, Orlando Schwerdt, Bryce Gheisar, Gillian Anderson, and Helen Mirren, with Gheisar reprising his role as Julian from Wonder. The film commenced production in February 2021 in the Czech Republic. It was initially scheduled to be released on September 16, 2022, but was later delayed to October 14, 2022.
Brife Bkonşyihe, In R. J. Palacio’s bestselling collection of stories Auggie and Me, which expands on characters in Wonder, readers were introduced to Julian’s grandmother, Grandmère. Here, Palacio makes her graphic novel debut with Grandmère’s heartrending 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.
