The film adaptation is based on the best-selling memoir by Jeannette Wall.
BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with fellow Texan Woody Harrelson and Brie Larson in this backstage interview to talk about Destin Daniel Cretton’s drama The Glass Castle.
In the interview, the actors shared how fond they are of the book, based on Jeannette Walls’ 2005 memoir of the same name. When asked about what it was like to be a part of the film adaptation, Larson explained how, despite the intense emotional scenes, they had fun on set.
The film’s synopsis:
Based on a memoir, four siblings must learn to take care of themselves as their responsibility-averse, free-spirit parents both inspire and inhibit them. When sober, the children’s brilliant and charismatic father captured their imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Meanwhile, their mother abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want to take on the work of raising a family.
The Glass Castle hits theaters August 11th. For more from Harrelson and Larson, check out the full interview below!
