            One of my most-anticipated movies of the year is based on one of my favorite novels, Wonder about a young boy dealing with a facial deformity in grade school. The New York Times bestseller is getting a movie adaptation that will be released around awards season and we have the trailer for you right here!

            Wonder tells the inspirational tale of August “Auggie” Pullman, a young boy born with a facial deformity and his experiences throughout fifth grade in a public school. The film will follow Auggie as he navigates throughout his family, new classmates and more struggling to accept the young boy into their community as he proves through his amazing journey that he was born to stand out in more ways than one. The trailer looks a bit campy to me but I have faith because of the incredible talent involved with this one. I think Jacob Tremblay, best known for his supporting role in Room, might garner himself some awards buzz for this and at just 11 years old, he’s already earning himself massive praise in the industry.

            Check out the trailer below for Wonder! The film stars Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin and Daveed Diggs and is directed by Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower). Wonder hits theaters everywhere on November 17^th!
