      'The Book of Henry' Trailer: Naomi Watts Is on a Mission in a New Drama From 'Jurassic World' Director

      Colin Trevorrow has experienced a meteoric rise to the top of Hollywood’s directing A-list. Boasting what appears to be a far more modest scope than his supersize franchise projects, Trevorrow’s tale will concern a preternaturally gifted 11-year-old named Henry (Jaeden Lieberher) with a crush on his next-door neighbor Christina (Maddie Ziegler), who’s being abused by her police commissioner stepfather (Dean Norris). Desperate to help, Henry writes a plan to save her from harm, and when his mother (Naomi Watts) finds this blueprint, she — along with her younger son, Peter (Room’s Jacob Tremblay) — decide to put the plan into action.

      Get to Know Jacob Tremblay, This Year's Littlest Awards-Season Contender and Wookiee Wannabe

      In many ways, Jacob Tremblay is exceptional, earning early Oscar buzz for his performance as boy born in captivity in the acclaimed indie drama Room, which expands in select theaters this weekend. In other ways, he’s just like any other 9-year-old — buzzing over the latest Star Wars trailer and eager to discuss the time he flipped his entire body performing a stunt in the acclaimed film, directed by Lenny Abrahamson and starring Brie Larson as his kidnapped mother. The brown-haired kid, a Canadian from Vancouver, is just one year older than the youngest-ever Best Actor Oscar nominee, Justin Henry, who was 8 when he scored a nod for Kramer vs. Kramer in 1980.
