The Wonder – TBD (Pre-Production)
In April 2021, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Florence Pugh will be the lead of Sebastian Lelio’s adaptation of The Wonder. The Wonder will be based on Emma Donoghue’s novel of the same name. According to Digital Spy, the film will be made for Netflix.
The Wonder is a psychological thriller about an English nurse named Lib Wright. Set in 1859, the story takes place in the Irish Midlands and follows Lbi as she travels to a small village where she discovers a girl who can survive months without food. The 11-year old girl, Anna O’Donnell, becomes a major tourist attraction. A Journalist arrives to cover the story and it turns into a story of love against evil.
The Wonder still seems at the very early stages of development, so we probably won’t find out a release date until late 2021, if filming has even started by the end of the year.
