Synopsis

Variety reported, "[Wonderstruck] unfolds in two different time periods, with one storyline taking place in 1927 and the other set in 1977. In the earlier time frame, Rose (Simmonds) escapes her home in New Jersey to catch a glimpse of her idol Lillian Mayhew (Moore). In the other, Ben (Fegley), runs away to New York to find his long-lost father after his mother dies."[2]

Cast

Production

Todd Haynes directed Wonderstruck based on an adapted screenplay by Brian Selznick, who also wrote the novel of the same name. Haynes was involved as director by May 2015 with Christine Vachon producing under her Killer Films banner.[3] In November 2015, Julianne Moore had been cast in the film, with Pamela Koffler and John Sloss joining as producers.[4] In April 2016, Jaden Michael, Cory Michael Smith, Michelle Williams, Oakes Fegley, and Amy Hargreaves joined the cast of the film.[5] Among those cast was Millicent Simmonds, a deaf actor from Utah. Deadline.com reported, "The 13-year-old Simmonds... will play Rose, whose half of Wonderstruck will be presented as a silent film in both a nod to movie history and an aesthetic designed to capture her perspective. In addition, this section of the narrative will see an unprecedented number of deaf actors in roles that would normally go to hearing actors."[6]

Principal photography began on May 4, 2016.[7][8][9] Filming took place in Peekskill, New York.[10] Production concluded on July 3, 2016.[11]

Release

Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions will distribute the film.[12] Amazon Studios partnered with Roadside to distribute Wonderstruck in the United States. The film is scheduled to have a limited release in the United States on October 20, 2017 and to have a wider release in mid-November 2017.[2]

Wonderstruck will have its world premiere at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.[13] It will compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section.[14][15]
