“Terri”–which opens today–is the story of an introverted adolescent who likes watching hawks eat mice and prefers to wear pajamas to school. When his high school vice-principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, takes him under his wing, we learn more about both Terri’s vulnerabilities and Mr. Fitzgerald’s. Terri is played by newcomer Jacob Wysocki, and Mr. Fitzgerald is played by Oscar-nominated actor John C. Reilly, who’s famous for his wide-ranging roles in films like “Boogie Nights,” “Chicago,” and “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.”
Both are with us in studio.
Here’s the trailer for “Terri:”
