Hollywood actor Gillian Anderson joined Lionsgate’s upcoming drama White Bird:A Wonder Story. She would reportedly essay the role of Vivienne, who along with her family has to make some tough choices.
The movie is an on-screen adaptation of RJ Palacio’s White Bird and would serve as a creative companion to the 2017 Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson starrer Wonder.
Directed by Marc Foster, the movie is set in the backdrop of World War II and follows the story of a young Jewish girl who is hidden away by a boy and his family in Nazi occupied France.
The movie would be produced by Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman along with RJ Palacio and would begin production in Czech Republic this month.
