Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme originally hosted by Breaking the Spine and now taken over by Wishful Endings that highlights upcoming book releases we're excited to read. On my blog, I include movies as well.
THE GLASS CASTLE - 2017
Cast: Brie Larson / Naomi Watts / Woody Harrelson
Release Date: 11 August 2017.
A young girl comes of age in a dysfunctional family of nonconformist nomads with a mother who's an eccentric artist and an alcoholic father who would stir the children's imagination with hope as a distraction to their poverty.
So I just recently discovered that this film is based on a book. Huh. I must look out for the book then...
Anyway. This movie stars Brie Larson, and that's enough to get me to watch it. She is amazing <3 And I love Naomi Watts too.
P.S. Isn't that poster stunning??!!
Anyone else excited for The Glass Castle?
I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN THE ONLY ONE PUMPED ABOUT THIS MOVIE! I've been meaning to check out the book from the library... anyways, I'm excited. Brie Larson has had solid performances.

YOU ARE ALONE NO LONGER!!!! I must do that, too...
DeleteShe is amazing :) Hope we both get to watch it soon!
I didn't know about the film but I did read the book years ago and it was kind of shocking to see the upbringing that these poor kids had. Definitely worth a read!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the book was good!

DeleteI honestly didn't know about this movie, and I haven't read the book so it's all completely knew to me. I hope you really enjoy both :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and stopping by my blog earlier!
Thanks Silvia :)
DeleteSure!
I also cannot wait to see this either! Brie is one of my favorite actors, and I LOVE Woody Harrelson! I read the book, and it was TOUGH but really good. So I will definitely be bringing some tissues to the movie! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!! I'm so glad!
DeleteHahaha thanks for letting me know!
I have been seeing this book everywhere for years; I'm not usually a fan of memoirs, so I never picked it up. I feel like I would be really sad watching this movie!
ReplyDeleteOh really? Cool!
DeleteYeah I think it will be!
Oh HECK YES!! I'm looking forward to this SO MUCH. I actually read the memoir for school, and I really loved it. I'm for sure watching this; they casted really well in my opinion. Great pick Amy! :D
ReplyDeleteWOOHOOO!! And I'm so glad you loved the book, too!
DeleteIt does look like it. Brie's amazing.
Thanks Genni :)
Ooooo, neat! I didn't know much about this film. Or who Brie Larson was. *hides* I hope you enjoy this film when you get the chance to watch it, Amy!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. =)

The poster really is stunning! Thanks for bringing this one to my attention -- I'm definitely going to look for the book and watch for the film. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is!! Sure :) Glad you like what you see!
DeleteOoh this looks good. And Brie Larson? I need to see some of her movies since I'm excited about her doing the upcoming Capt. Marvel movie!!
ReplyDeleteI'm also SO excited for Capt. Marvel!! And yes, you definitely should - I especially recommend Room :) She won an Oscar for that.
DeleteOh wow, never heard of this movie before.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it when you get the chance! :)
Thanks Aneesa, I hope so too!
DeleteI've been seeing this movie poster on Goodreads lately, and now I see that you're featuring the movie on your WOW post. So I went over to GR just now to check out the book. After reading the synopsis, I immediately added it to my shelves. It looks SO good!! I just hope the movie does it justice! Of course, I would like to read the book first. BTW, there's a giveaway for it on Goodreads, which I entered, even though there are over TEN thousand entries already.... Lol. Well, who knows, right?
