The Book of Henry hits UK screens this week, and we've been speaking to director Colin Trevorrow about the film's opening credits, which look like one big spoiler. But one that passes by so fast that you can't actually make those spoilers out."They should pay special attention" came Trevorrow's advice to audiences in the above video. "The whole story is encapsulated in the opening credits. I think that in a film that takes you to some very unexpected places, and on a bit of an emotional and narrative rollercoaster, if you watch the drawings by the hand of a child, over the first two minutes, with Michael Giacchinos incredible theme, you will be taken from beginning to end."Its something that I actually stole from Brad Bird in Mission: Impossible 4. Which I thought was a very cool thing to do  to take you on that journey and prepare you for where youre going to go, yet still surprise you over the course."As for whether there are more Easter Eggs hidden within the film, Trevorrow says The Book of Henry is filled with them."It is a very carefully designed film and it had to be. Every single thing that happens matters. Its a movie that does take an attentive viewer in order to ultimately first not get disoriented, and to appreciate where it takes you its a bit of a parents fever dream in a way."Its one of those things where you just have to let yourself go in the way that when youre dreaming you just have to let yourself go. If you get too much up inside your head the movie may be challenging for you emotionally because it lurches in the way that life can."The Book of Henry hits UK screens today (Friday June 23) and if you are checking it out in cinemas, make sure you pay extra close attention during those first two minutes.
