Witherspoon added that she felt “really, really lucky” to help bring author Delia Owens‘ 2018 novel—which has sold over 12 million copies worldwide—to the big screen. She said, “I’m excited for people who have read the book, I’m excited for people who haven’t read the book.”
Jones, the film’s leading lady, also chatted with Daily Pop on the film’s red carpet. Best known for playing Marianne Sheridan on the series Normal People, the actress said she was excited to dive into the many sides of Kya.
