Jennifer Lawrence To Star In Film Adaptation Of Jeanette Walls’ ‘Glass Castle: A Memoir’
According to Playlist, Lionsgate has acquired the rights to Jeanette Walls‘ “Glass Castle: A Memoir“. Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence will star in the film adaptation of the bestselling novel.
The book — which stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over 250 weeks — tells the true tale of Walls’ childhood, which found her raised by abusive, dysfuctional parents. Her mother Rose Mary was creative, but also eccentric and immature, owning land in Texas worth millions (something they found out later) while they lived in deep poverty. At one point after Jeanette had grown up, Rose Mary choose to be homeless for the “adventure.” Meanwhile, her father Rex had trouble keeping a job, drank and smoked heavily, and had a dream of striking it rich and building the family the titular “glass castle.”
I am thoroughly impressed! Now I am so excited for this to come!
