Woody Harrelson is in talks to join Brie Larson in Lionsgate’s “The Glass Castle,” an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.

The film is based on the Jeannette Walls memoir of the same name. In the book, Walls recounts her and her siblings’ upbringing with nomadic parents.

Jennifer Lawrence was originally attached to star in the film, as she and Lionsgate have enjoyed a very fruitful relationship with the “Hunger Games” franchise. However, the Oscar winner dropped out of the project and was replaced by Larson.
