"I enjoy the challenge of trying to relight the flame of this particular story but in a totally different medium."The pair discussed her hit novel, Room, which has sold two million copies worldwide and in 2015 was adapted into a feature film directed by Lenny Abrahamson and starred Brie Larson, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in the film.
"I was really guarding Room from becoming a bad film because the readers had responded to it so passionately I thought I cannot let them down by selling the rights and then going ‘Oh whoops, look, they made a trashy film of it.’ So I thought 'This one I’m going to guard.'" "There was one scene I was always arguing to be included in the screenplay where Ma tells Jack that there was a first baby who was stillborn. I thought that was an important part of the story but Lenny was never sure where to put it and in the editing suite I saw why."
Director Lenny Abrahamson invited Donoghue to join him in the editing suite to get a real taste for storytelling in film."I realised editing is done almost musically, it’s not really about content, and that it would wreck the vibe to stop and say ‘Oh flashback to another sad bit.’"
