Adapted from Jeanette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle already has Brie Larson (Room) and Woody Harrelson (Triple 9) attached to star, and has just added another name to its roster; Birdman star Naomi Watts.
Larson will be playing the part of Walls, in the film which details her parents’ nomadic lives; whereby her mother (Watts) was far more invested in creative activities than caring for her children, and her father (Harrelson) was drunk more often than sober.
Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12) is due to direct The Glass Castle, and while we don’t have an official release date as yet anyone looking to see more of Namoi Watts can either catch The Divergent Series: Allegiant, or Demolition (when it opens on April 29th).
