Based upon the book Caging Skies by Christine Leunens, Jojo Rabbit follows a young German boy (newcomer Roman Griffin) raised by a single mom, whose awkward demeanor leaves him bullied by fellow students. His only confidante is his imaginary friend Hitler, but his naive patriotism is soon tested when he meets a young girl (Leave No Trace breakout Thomasin McKenzie) who upends his world views.
Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, also star alongside Waititi, Griffin, and McKenzie.
Here is the synopsis for Jojo Rabbit:
Jojo Rabbit opens in theaters on October 18, 2019.
Writer director Taika Waititi (THOR: RAGNAROK, HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE), brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as JoJo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi), Jojo must confront his blind nationalism.
