“Room,” Emma Donoghue’s best-selling novel of 2010, is narrated by a young boy named Jack who spends his first five years locked in a small square room with his “Ma.” The young mother does what she can to make Jack’s life rich and full. When they finally escape from their confined surroundings, Jack is free to discover the outside world — a revelation to a child who has lived only within four walls.
The book is lyrical, profoundly disturbing and a total page-turner. And now it has been made into a film of the same name.
Free passes are available to see a screening of “Room” at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 15th at Edwards Greenway Grand Palace, 3839 Weslayan, in Houston.
If you’re interested, please RSVP to this form: http://goo.gl/forms/UxPttYoGju
The first 10 responses (plus one guest each) will be reserved, and all submissions after the first 10 will be sent a general (first come, first serve) pass.
I spoke to Donoghue in 2012, when she was eager to sell the film rights to this book.
Asked if she would be one of those hands-off authors who lets filmmakers fuss with her story, she replied: “Oh, no! I want to write the screenplay. I want to appear in the film. I want to be fully involved forever.”
She was as good as her word about the screenplay, so I’ll be looking for her cameo in the film.
The film stars Brie Larson as Ma, Jacob Tremblay as Jack, Joan Allen as Grandma and William H. Macy as Grandpa.
