Watch Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts in the new trailer for The Glass Castle

Based on the memoir by Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, Sarah Snook, and Max Greenfield.

Larson plays Walls as the film traces her extraordinary life from poverty-stricken childhood to successful New York-based journalist. Along the way, audiences meet Walls’ dysfunctional family, who were constantly on the move thanks to her father’s inability to find a stable job — and his drinking problems.

After enduring an impoverished, itinerant childhood that saw them scampering around the western part of the U.S., Walls and her three siblings escape one by one to New York and stake out a stable life. That’s all threatened when their parents follow them there, and the children have to come to grips with who their parents really are, and whether they want them in their lives.

Screenplay by Destin Daniel Cretton & Andrew Lanham. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.

The Glass Castle arrives in UK cinemas on Friday 6^th October.
