Room: The Cast For the Adaptation of the Bestselling Book Is Growing

We learned a few months ago that actress Brie Larson was taking on the lead role in Room, the 2010 bestselling novel by Emma Donoghue. The story follows a child, Lenny, who has been raised in a small room by his mother after she was abducted and kept prisoner there for years. The role of Lenny has recently been cast, while several great actors have also joined the adaptation, which will be directed by Lenny Abrahamson. If you read the book, let us know if you can see this cast bringing the film to life.
