Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for The Wonder, an upcoming from celebrated filmmaker Sebastián Lelio. The film is about to premiere at the BFI London Film Festival and will come to the streamer later in the year.
Adapted from the bestselling novel by Emma Donoghue (ROOM), and inspired by true stories of the “Fasting Girls” phenomenon, The Wonder stars Florence Pugh, Tom Burke, Kila Lord Cassidy, Elaine Cassidy, Niamh Algar, Toby Jones and Ciarán Hinds. The screenplay is co-written by Lelio and Donoghue along with Alice Birch.
The synopsis is as follows.
1862,13 years after the Great Famine. An English Nightingale Nurse Lib Wright (Florence Pugh) is called to the Irish Midlands by a devout community to conduct a 15-day examination over one of their own. Anna O’Donnell (Kíla Lord Cassidy) is an 11-year-old girl who claims not to have eaten for four months, surviving miraculously on “manna from heaven”. As Anna’s health rapidly deteriorates, Lib is determined to unearth the truth, challenging the faith of a community that would prefer to stay believing.
The film hits select cinemas from 2nd November and then Netflix on 19th November.
Here’s the new trailer.
