In between the behemoths Jurassic World and Star Wars: Episode IX, director Colin Trevorrow has squeezed in a return to the sort of smaller-scale fare that landed him his big gigs. Here's the first trailer for The Book Of Henry.

Jaeden Lieberher plays the titular Henry Carpenter, an 11-year-old prodigy who is wise beyond his years and spends time helping his single mother Susan (Naomi Watts) balance the household budget, at least when he's not coming up with Rube Goldberg devices to delight younger brother Peter (Jacob Tremblay).

But when he learns that classmate and next door neighbour Christina (Maddie Ziegler) is hiding a dark secret and that her stepfather Glenn (Dean Norris) is likely responsible, Henry hatches a complicated plan to help her. But he'll need his mother and brother to carry it out...

Written by Gregg Hurwitz, this one comes across as a blend of precious child quirky comedy and conspiracy thriller, but we know that Trevorrow can handle more offbeat stories. With Lee Pace, Bobby Moynihan and Sarah Silverman in the cast, The Book Of Henry will be out on 23 June.
