With Naomi Watts, Jaeden Lieberher and Jacob Tremblay already booked in to star, **Jurassic World **director Colin Trevorrow is adding to the cast of his next film, The Book Of Henry. Sarah Silverman, Lee Pace and Dean Norris are all now aboard.
Unlike his dino-centric franchise hit, Trevorrow is keeping things small and decidedly quiet with Henry, which was written by novelist Gregg Hurwitz. Nothing is known about the plot of the film, which isn’t adapted from anything and has a shoot starting soon in New York. “Book Of Henry is a remarkable piece of screenwriting that has stuck with me for years,” Trevorrow has said of the screenplay. “I feel very fortunate to be able to tell this story. It is a true original.”
Silverman has been working steadily on film recently, including the upcoming I Smile Back and the Lonely Island comedy music Connor4Real. Pace, last seen in Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies, has Lance Armstrong drama The Program due on October 16. Breaking Bad veteran Norris, meanwhile, most recently worked on **Secret In Their Eyes **with Julia Roberts and Chiwetel Ejiofor, and the remake is out here on March 4 next year.
And Trevorrow, who will segue from shooting Henry to actively developing Star Wars: Episode IX, has seen one of his earlier scripts spring back to life. Stealing Time, which finds a scientist building a time machine and then into the past to protect it from criminals, forcing his son and grandson to figure out how to make another to save him, has been pulled from the archives of turnaround by Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks team. Originally set up at Sony, the screenplay will now receive a new draft courtesy of Pixels co-writer Tim Dowling.
