Hollywood stars join Room star Jacob Tremblay in moving new film about a boy who's had facial reconstruction surgery entering school for the first time
JULIA Roberts and Owen Wilson play married parents in the first trailer for touching new movie Wonder, starring young Room actor Jacob Tremblay as a disfigured school boy.
Tremblay's character August “Auggie” Pullman has had 27 surgeries to help him breathe, see, and hear properly before entering school for the first time aged 10.
His protective parents, played by Wilson and Roberts, pray that the kids at school won't be unkind to him because of his appearance, but sadly a lot of them are.
However, Auggie does slowly manage to make friends thanks to his kind heart and the support of his loving mum and dad.
The tear-jerker is based on a best-selling books of the same name by R.J. Palacio, and will no doubt leave audiences bawling their eyes out when it hits cinemas in December.
In the trailer, Wilson's character tells his son about his looks: "I know you don't always like it but I love it."
Meanwhile little Auggie jokes to a friend about his plastic surgery, saying: "It takes a lot of work to look this good."
Many fans of the film Room are already calling for 10-year-old Tremblay to win an Oscar for his performance, saying he was "robbed" when he didn't get nominated before.
The film is certainly arriving at peak awards season time, with its cinema release close to Christmas, too.
Wonder is out in UK cinemas on December 8, 2017.
