This could be an interesting combination. Karl Urban and young & sweet Willow Shields are set to star in the upcoming 3D fantasy film titled The Wonder. The movie comes from director Ron Underwood and, apparently it will include a lot of teenagers, magic, a rainbow, catastrophe and… well, China? Try to find some connection, or read the rest of this report for more details.
So at this moment, thanks to THR, we know that The Wonder will center on Shields' character, 14-year-old Rachel who, together with two of her classmates, find the end of a rainbow which, magically, transports them to China.
There, they find themselves pursued by local authorities and a mysterious organisation.
With unexpected help from Consul William Stanley, played by Urban, the kids are able to elude their chasers but soon discover that their journey has triggered a major natural disaster.
Together with their new friend Cheng, played by Leehom Wang, they find their way back home but still need to race against time to stop the global catastrophe.
Pretty confusing, you'll admit, but what the hell – let the children play!
Robert Sidaway, Iain Brown, Steve Sachs and Chun-Yi Yueh are producing. James M. Vernon of Media Funds Management and Hyde Park's Ashok Amitraj will executive produce, and just in case you already like how The Wonder sounds – make sure you stay tuned for more details.
