Filming has begun locally on The Book of Henry, director Colin Trevorrow's first directorial feature following the massive success of Jurassic World, which has grossed nearly $1.7 billion worldwide.

The original screenplay for The Book of Henry is by acclaimed novelist and comic book writer Gregg Hurwitz. Two-time Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts stars in the film alongside young actors Jacob Tremblay and Jaden Lieberher.

The supporting cast includes Under The Dome's Dean Norris and Guardians of the Galaxy's Lee Pace along with Emmy Award winner Sarah Silverman and more.

The Book of Henry is the story of a single mother raising two boys, one of whom is a genius. The film is being produced by Sidney Kimmel Entertainment's (SKE) Sidney Kimmel and Carla Hacken, and by Double Nickel Entertainment's Jenette Kahn and Adam Richman. Executive-producing are Sue Baden-Powell and SKE's John Penotti.

Academy Award nominee John Schwartzman (Jurassic World, Saving Mr. Banks) is director of photography on The Book of Henry. Melissa Toth (Focus' Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) is the costume designer, and Kevin Stitt (Jurassic World) is the film editor. Emmy Award winner Kalina Ivanov (Grey Gardens) is the production designer.
