Naomi Watts and Jacob Tremblay may not be the most obvious cinematic pairing, but a cinematic pairing they’ve become.
Not like that.
Don’t be gross.
The celebrated pair has a couple of movies they worked on together coming out beginning this fall. Up first is Shut In, a thriller in which the Demolition actress portrays a widowed child psychologist who lives in isolation in New England with her bed-confined son (Charlie Heaton, from Netflix’s Stranger Things) and who must find a way to rescue a peculiar young boy (the Room scene-stealer), in the aftermath of a deadly winter storm, before he disappears forever.
Check out the trailer for Shut In now, and, if you like what you see, save the Nov. 11 date to check it out in theaters.
And keep an eye out for The Book of Henry, in which Watts and Tremblay will play mother and son. That’s coming out next summer.

He may have gotten snubbed by the Academy for his amazing turn in Room, but 9-year-old Critics’ Choice Award winner Jacob Tremblay is not one to like, want to stay in his room crying.
The young actor’s got to work!
And that’s just what the next RyGos (IMHO) is gonna do.
Tremblay is set to play a young Phil on TV’s The Last Man on Earth later this season. Grown Phil/Tandy, of course, is portrayed by Emmy nominee Will Forte.
You can expect to see the kid in action on what is sure to be a flashback-heavy episode of the show when it comes back on the air this spring.

This is the fall that will deliver Brie Larson (Trainwreck) her Cast Away moment.
Meaning Room is coming out in the next few months.
A film based on the Emma Donoghue novel by that title, Room zeroes in on a young mother trapped in a tiny room below ground with her 5-year-old son (played by The Smurfs 2’s Jacob Tremblay). From the looks of the first trailer that’s been released, the kid was either born or raised from infancy in there, so you know that whomever put them there is not kidding around.
And neither is she.
Larson’s character clearly has an escape plan in mind, all so that her kid will get “to love it.”
Love what?
“The world.”
Like, #chills.
Room – co-starring Joan Allen, Sean Bridgers, and William H. Macy – will open in New York and L.A. on Oct. 16 before going nationwide on Nov. 6.
