Gillian Anderson, who was just nominated for a SAG Award and a Golden Globe for her work in “The Crown,” will star in Marc Forster’s “White Bird: A Wonder Story,” the follow-up to Lionsgate’s 2017 film “Wonder.”
Anderson will star in “White Bird” as a woman in Nazi-occupied France during World War II who must make unimaginable choices for her family after her son takes in a Jewish girl and hides her from the Germans. The film will begin production later this month.
“White Bird” is a “creative companion” to “Wonder” that sees one of the characters from the 2017 film hear a story from his grandmother about her memory of Nazi-occupied France.
