Sarah Silverman, Lee Pace join Colin Trevorrow’s ‘Book of Henry’ with Naomi Watts

Colin Trevorrow is hard at work with a new movie, but it has nothing to do with dinosaurs. He has added a trio of new stars to The Book of Henry, his next indie film project.

The movie already stars Naomi Watts, who joined last month. Now, TheWrap is reporting that comedian Sarah Silverman, Guardians of the Galaxy villain Lee Pace and Breaking Bad’s Dean Norris have all joined the film.

Young actors Jaeden Lieberher, who was in the Melissa McCarthy comedy St. Vincent; and Jacob Tremblay, who appears in Room will Brie Larson, also joined the film.

The project was written by novelist Gregg Hurwitz, but there has been no plot synopsis released.

Focus Features has worldwide distribution rights and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Double Nickel Entertainment are producing. The executive producers are Sidney Kimmel president John Penotti and Sue Baden-Powell.

While Silverman is best known for her comedy, she’s recently tried to break into movies, giving an acclaimed performance in I Smile Back, which was shown at Sundance and Toronto.

Henry will be a closer follow-up to Treverrow’s first film, the indie Safety Not Guaranteed. He directed Jurassic World this summer and is set to make Star Wars: Episode IX after Henry.
