Breaking into "The Glass House"

"Something is not right," Leelee Sobieski playing Ruby, the young heroine in Columbia Pictures’ "The Glass House", says pleadingly to her lawyer. Ruby’s parents died recently in a car wreck, and now the guardians with whom she and her brother have been living are behaving suspiciously.

In this gripping suspense thriller, 18-year-old Sobieski is portraying a young woman her own age, not older, for the first time in her career.

In "The Glass House" Sobieski must conjure the vulnerable emotions of an ordinary girl whose experience is limited. For her, that’s a stretch.

"The challenge," says movie director Daniel Sackheim "is how to take a young woman who carries herself with such comportment and maturity and break her down in a way that allows the little girl to come out."

The Glass House is a Columbia Pictures film.
