This seems like an intriguingly different project for Karl Urban to involve himself with. It's a 3D family film called The Wonder, and it's a fantasy adventure that centers around magic rainbows. Apparently the actor is officially signed on with the film now, and it sounds like it's going to be a very crazy film... seriously! Just read over this breakdown of the story (thanks to Empire), and see for yourself!
The Wonder follows three teenagers, led by defiant outsider Rachel (Willow Shields), who after a bruising encounter with school bullies, experiences something incredible and seemingly impossible… a rainbow reaching up to the sky from a pool of golden energy.With the help of friends Grace, a Chinese girl and Tane, a Maori boy, the teenage trio adopt high-tech methods to find another, and learning of ancient rainbow legends they each make a special wish. Finally they actually track down...
