One Final Trailer for the ‘White Bird’ Movie Featuring Gillian Anderson

"You forget many things in life, but you never forget kindness." Lionsgate reveals one more final official 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. Finally opening in October after being delayed for two years (originally set for 2022). Based on the graphic novel, it's a thrilling WWII survival story. It's 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; and how the boy she and her classmates once shunned became her savior and best friend.

Starring Helen Mirren, Gillian Anderson, Bryce Gheisar, Ariella Glaser, & Orlando Schwerdt. This doesn't look so bad, still no idea why they delayed it for so long. And this trailer seems ...
