Julia Roberts is set to play Jacob Tremblay’s mother in Lionsgate’s adaptation of R.J. Palacio’s coming-of-age-novel WONDER. The story follows Auggie Pullman, a young boy with a facial deformity that is bullied at school.
Stephen Chbosky will direct the script by written Steve Conrad with previous drafts by John August and Jack Thorne. Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman at Mandeville Films will serve as producers.
Roberts can be currently seen in Gary Marshall’s Mother’s Day. She also stars in the upcoming Jodie Foster-directed thriller Money Monster opposite George Clooney.
She is repped by CAA.
