The screenplay is by Emily Carmichael (Battle at Big Rock) & Colin Trevorrow from a story by Derek Connolly (Jurassic World) & Trevorrow, based on characters created by Michael Crichton.

From Focus Features comes THE BOOK OF HENRY, in select cities June 16th. Check out the brand new official poster debuted exclusively by Maddie Ziegler, and in case you missed it, watch the trailer now.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World, Safety Not Guaranteed) and starring Academy Award™ nominee Naomi Watts (The Impossible), Jaeden Lieberher (St. Vincent), Jacob Tremblay (Room), Sarah Silverman (Wreck-It Ralph), and Maddie Ziegler (Dance Moms), THE BOOK OF HENRY hits select cities on June 16th, 2017.
Sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman). Her younger son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is a playful 8-year-old. Taking care of everyone and everything in his own unique way is Susan’s older son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher), age 11. Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother – and, through investments, of the family as a whole – Henry blazes through the days like a comet. Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina (Maddie Ziegler), has a dangerous secret – and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help. As his brainstormed rescue plan for Christina takes shape in thrilling ways, Susan finds herself at the center of it.
Filming has begun locally on THE BOOK OF HENRY, director Colin Trevorrow’s (Safety Not Guaranteed) first feature as director since this year’s blockbuster JURASSIC WORLD (which has grossed nearly $1.7 billion worldwide). Focus Features is overseeing the production and holds worldwide rights, including for domestic release.
The original screenplay for THE BOOK OF HENRY is by acclaimed novelist Gregg Hurwitz.
Two-time Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts stars in the film alongside young actors Jacob Tremblay (of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival hit Room) and Jaden Lieberher (of St. Vincent and the upcoming Midnight Special).
The supporting cast includes Dean Norris (Breaking Bad), Lee Pace (The Hobbit trilogy, Guardians of the Galaxy), Emmy Award winner Sarah Silverman, Maddie Ziegler (of Sia’s music videos “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart”), and Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live).
The Book of Henry is the story of a single mother raising two boys, one of whom is a genius.
The film is being produced by Sidney Kimmel Entertainment’s (SKE) Sidney Kimmel and Carla Hacken, and by Double Nickel Entertainment’s Jenette Kahn and Adam Richman. Executive-producing are Sue Baden-Powell and SKE’s John Penotti.
Academy Award nominee John Schwartzman (Jurassic World, Saving Mr. Banks) is director of photography on The Book of Henry. Melissa Toth (Focus’ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) is the costume designer, and Kevin Stitt (Jurassic World) is the film editor.

Shattering records globally, JURASSIC WORLD crushed the opening-weekend box-office, scoring the highest domestic, international and worldwide openings of all time. The film has taken in more than $1.6 billion globally to become the third-highest grossing film in history.
Now fans can experience the thrill and awe when JURASSIC WORLD arrives on Digital HD on October 1, 2015 and on 3-D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on October 20, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. More than two decades since Steven Spielberg’sJurassic Park was released, fans of the original films and new moviegoers alike can witness the story come full circle as the park that was only a promise comes to life.
Now, 22 years later, an even bigger and enormously popular attraction has risen on Isla Nubar: Jurassic World. To keep attendance high, the park operators introduce a new, genetically modified hybrid creature called Indominus Rex. Bigger, stronger and far more intelligent than any dinosaur that ever walked the earth; the secretive new breed also proves more dangerous than anyone ever anticipated. Executive-produced by franchise creator Steven Spielberg and directed by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed), Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, “Parks and Recreation”) as Owen Grady, the park’s ex-military expert in animal behavior, and Bryce Dallas Howard (The Help, The Twilight Saga), as Claire Dearing, Jurassic World’s driven careerist, teaming up to save the park’s tourists when chaos erupts.
Vincent D’Onofrio (Men in Black, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”), Jake Johnson (“New Girl,” “Let’s Be Cops“), Nick Robinson (“Melissa and Joey”), Ty Simpkins (Insidious series), BD Wong (Jurassic Park, “Law & Order: SVU”), Judy Greer (Ant-Man) and Irrfan Khan (Life of Pi) also star in the blockbuster adventure that will delight fans of the original as much as it thrills a new generation of viewers.

Today at D23, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn announced that writer-director Colin Trevorrow (JURASSIC WORLD) will direct STAR: EPISODE IX, which is set for release in 2019.
While production won’t begin for a few years, Trevorrow is heading to Lucasfilm this year to begin working with artists and his fellow Star Wars directors. “Colin is someone I’ve been interested in working with ever since I saw ‘Safety Not Guaranteed,’” says Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. “The power of that film paired with the enormous success of ‘Jurassic World’ speaks volumes about his abilities both as a storyteller and skilled filmmaker. We are thrilled to have such an incredible talent as Colin join our family and step into the Star Wars universe.”
Trevorrow states, “This is not a job or an assignment. It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of storytellers, filmmakers, artists and craftspeople. We’ve been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had—a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channeling something George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and hope.”
STAR: EPISODE IX will conclude the third trilogy of Star Wars movies that begins with STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS on December 18, 2015.
The original JURASSIC PARK set a new standard for state-of-the-art visual effects. It was suddenly possible to see humans and dinosaurs interacting in a way that had never before been possible, and to feel the entire theater shake with the approach of a T-Rex. 23 years later not a whole lot has changed. As the belated third sequel opens, and John Williams’s famous theme swells, JURASSIC WORLD feels both nostalgically familiar and excitingly new. The story is simple: The Costa Rica-set Jurassic World theme park is now a popular tourist destination. Scientists there develop a bigger, better hybrid supersaurus which escapes its enclosure resulting in the usual monster mayhem. JURASSIC WORLD is a true summer movie experience. It’s got thrills, chills, and checks every box needed for big entertainment. It has its share of flaws, chief of which are the familiarity factor and a weak script, but it still offers a couple hours of glitzy, hi-tech fun. That’s just about all that anyone can reasonably expect from this kind of blockbuster, but the magical spark that characterized the original Spielberg film is largely absent.
The makers of JURASSIC WORLD get a lot right in this new take on the story. As expected, the effects are flawless – the dinosaurs seem as alive as the human actors (and in the case of Bryce Howard, more so). The scene where the huge Mosasaurus lunges up from his tank to consume a dangling shark was a nice way to foreshadow the dangers to come. My favorite scene is when the swarm of pterodactyls (some dino-nerds call them dimorphodons) attack fleeing tourists and one slob grabs his margaritas before running. But Williams’s music isn’t the only thing recycled here and the whole film feels like a retread of the first one. The most disappointing thing about JURASSIC WORLD is how perfunctory the screenplay by director Colin Trevorrow (and three other writers) is. Trevorrow was hired apparently based on SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED, his excellent 2012 indie nominally about time travel, but he fails to provide his own voice, seeming content to turn things over to the CGI gurus and ape Spielberg’s directorially style. JURASSIC WORLD presents cookie-cutter characters played by usually-good actors who collectively have nothing to do but spew expository dialogue, breathe heavy, and run. Hiding, screaming, getting eaten and dashing through doorways just as they are closing are tried and true tropes of the Jurassic franchise, and this movie does not disappoint in that regard. The cast is second fiddle to the spectacle. Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, the stalwart animal-trainer hero (we know he’s the ‘alpha-male’ because we’re told so several times) is likeable enough but here he lacks the scruffy charm that buoyed GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. His leading lady is Claire Dearing, the park’s operations manager who spends the film alternating between terrified and valiant and is stiffly played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Better is Irrfan Kahn as the wealthy park owner who underestimates the danger at hand and an underused B.D. Wong, back from the original as Dr. Wu, the scientist who knows best. There’s also a pair of teen brothers (Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson), Claire’s nephews, to provide rescue fodder and nice comedy relief in the form of Jake Johnson (the star of SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED) as a geeky park tech who wears his original ‘Jurassic Park’ T-shirt he got off Ebay for $150. Vincent D’Onofrio overplays the cartoonishly sinister contractor who thinks raptors would make dandy weapons of war. But the real villain of JURASSIC WORLD is the “larger than a T. Rex” Indominus Rex, a lab-brewed kind of evil genius beastie that Roger Corman would have named Megasaur! Indy manages to adjust his body temperature so he can’t be traced via thermal means, yank out his own tracking device, change color, and hunt just for sport, leaving a sad trail of bloody brontosaurus carcasses in his wake. He’s intimidating enough, but no rock star. An early scene with the critter, his snout dripping blood (he just ate a fat guy), leaning over to menace Chris Pratt from underneath the truck where he’s hiding should be scary, but it’s really not. He’s not that much bigger than a T-rex and that his genetically-enhanced abilities used as the angle to hang the film’s plot on shows a lack of ambition on the screenwriter’s part.
The bar for CGI destruction was set this summer with SAN ANDREAS and visceral excitement with MAD MAX FURY ROAD. JURASSIC WORLD is not nearly as good as either of those. It’s not any worse than the earlier Jurassic sequels, but that’s faint praise. I’ll recommend JURASSIC WORLD, but you may want to dial down your expectations.
On Tuesday evening (June 9), JURASSIC WORLD had it’s big Hollywood Premiere at Hollywood and Highland and TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX.
Hosted by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Hollywood and Highland was transformed into the entrance of Jurassic Park.
Fans caught a glimpse of cast members Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Jake Johnson, BD Wong, Judy Greer, Brian Tee, Andy Buckley, James Dumont, Michael Papajohn; writer/director Colin Trevorrow; writers Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Derek Connolly; producers Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley.
Originally released in 1993, Spielberg’s JURASSIC PARK provided moviegoers with a film that connected with global audiences of all ages and has since become an indelible part of their cultural collective memory. Based on Michael Crichton’s blend of science fiction and boundless imagination, the film left audiences breathless and asking the question: “Could this actually happen?”
Jump ahead 22 years to JURASSIC WORLD, a fully operational luxury resort off the coast of Costa Rica where 20,000 guests explore the wonder of Earth’s most magnificent living prehistoric marvels – of every shape and size – and interact up close with them every day.
When the massive and mysterious Indominus rex stages an escape and disappears into the jungle, order turns to mayhem, guests turn into prey and no corner within the world’s greatest theme park is safe anymore.
The first reviews of director Colin Trevorrow’s sci-fi adventure are in and is this film ever fun!
As the world awaits the June 12th opening of the movie where dinosaurs escape into the open, the skies and the water, check out the early reviews.
“The second half of this movie is where Trevorrow cuts loose, and there are some big kicks to be had. There are all sorts of great gags and beats as the dinosaurs rip hell out of this park.” – Drew McWeeny (HitFix)
“Exposition and character-building chitchat are kept at a minimum as we gawk at raptors on the prowl, prehistoric sea monsters breaching out of their water pens to feed on a great white, and our old pal T. rex slugging it out with the new-and-improved I. rex.” – Chris Nashawaty (EW)
“The dinos themselves have rarely looked better than they do under the direction of VFX supervisor Tim Alexander, especially Indominous rex (arguably the movie’s most well-developed female character), and a new underwater beastie who’s like Shamu on steroids.” – Scott Foundas (Variety)
“Even more than its intensely likeable central performances and convincingly solid visual effects, it’s this supple self-reflexiveness that makes Colin Trevorrow’s film a worthy sequel to Spielberg’s industry-changing original.” – Robbie Collin (Telegraph)
