Collider Interviews | Is the Elusive and Prestigious EGOT in Helen Mirren’s Destiny? @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Having directed films like Christopher Robin, Finding Neverland, and Stranger Than Fiction, Marc Forster has proven himself time and again to be an earnest and emotionally centered filmmaker. By adding the beautiful presence and elevated skill of Dame Helen Mirren to his latest project, White Bird, Forster has assured audiences of a story rich in depth and heart.
A spin-off of the author R. J. Palacio's 2017 Wonder adaptation, White Bird follows young bully Julian (played by Bryce Gheisar, reprising his role) as he struggles to fit in at his new school. While Julian's grandmère Sara stays for a visit, she tells him stories from her childhood as a young girl growing up in Nazi-occupied France.
In this interview, Mirren and Forster spoke to Collider's Steve Weintraub about their new collaboration. Together they chatted about adapting the graphic novel into a feature, recognizing the rich, full lives of older characters (and in turn, audiences), as well as the unconditional importance of remembrance, especially through times of turbulence.
