Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is looking to go back to his indie roots for his next film and could be taking Naomi Watts with him. The actress is in talks to star in Book of Henry.
The project is being financed by Universal’s Focus Features, which will also release the film worldwide. Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Double Nickel Entertainment are co-producing, notes Deadline. It is written by novelist Gregg Hurwitz (Tell No Lies, Don’t Look Back).
Variety notes that no plot synopsis for the film has been released, so we still have no idea what it’s about.
Treverrow had only directed one film - the sci-fi indie Safety Not Guaranteed - before helming Jurassic World. The film is now the third-highest grossing movie in history, earning $1.5 billion. Treverrow is only attached as a producer on the next film, which will be the fifth Jurassic Park movie.
As for Watts, she will next be seen in Shut In, which hits theaters in February, and Demolition in April. She’s also in the Divergent series, so you can also spot her in Allegiant - Part I in March.
