Brie Larson won the Best Actress Oscar earlier this year for Room, but for our money, her best performance thus far remains Short Term 12. After a few years, director Destin Cretton is finally returning with the actress for the Lionsgate project The Glass Castle. Based on Jeannette Walls‘ 2005 memoir, the first images have now arrived ahead of a 2017 release for the film also starring Naomi Watts, Max Greenfield, Woody Harrelson, and Sarah Snook.
The drama follows Larson as a woman who must deal with her dysfunctional family — including a mother who is obsessed with her art and a father stricken with alcoholism — through her own imagination. In case you couldn’t tell by the obnoxious watermark, EW has debuted the first images, which can be seen above and below — along with a behind-the-scenes look from Watts — and hopefully the first trailer will arrive sooner than later.
The Glass Castle will be released in 2017.
