Where the Crawdads Sing Interview: Daisy Edgar-Jones & Taylor John Smith

Continue to make way for Daisy Edgar-Jones! Soon after breaking out via the Hulu series, Normal People, Edgar-Jones is about to celebrate the release of yet another highly anticipated book-to-screen adaptation. She headlines the big screen rendition of author Delia Owen’s Where the Crawdads Sing, the top-selling book of 2019 and 2020.
Edgar-Jones leads as Kya, a girl who raises herself out in the marshlands of North Carolina after her entire family leaves her. Quick to judge what they don’t know, the local community dubs her the “marsh girl” and immediately blames Kya when the local golden boy, Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson), turns up dead.
With the Olivia Newman-directed adaptation hitting theaters nationwide on July 15th, I got the chance to talk to Edgar-Jones and co-star Taylor John Smith about their experience bringing the source material to screen.
Check out what they said in this interview!

We need more of such kind & down to earth actors who lift each other up rather than see it as a competition!! Lovely people & great interview!
