TV: DOUBT: In Conversation with Amy Adams

Last month, BroadwayWorld.com's own Eddie Varley flew to Los Angeles to attend the press junket for the highly aniticipated big screen adapation of John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt. Eddie and Amy begin the interview by discussing Amy's daily visits to...BroadwayWorld.com!

In Doubt, Amy Adams plays Sister James, the innocent but passionate young nun who may have witnessed a horrible incident that will lead to the very fabric of her belief being tested. Amy Adams spoke with BroadwayWorld about the excitement of joining the cast, the process of bringing the story to the screen and to also reveal she visits BWW to find out all the latest theatre news too!

Adams received an Oscar nod as Best Supporting Actress for her work in the independent film hit Junebug.  Adams' other film credits include Charlie Wilson's War, Enchanted, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Fast Track, Standing Still, Catch Me If You Can, Pumpkin, Cruel Intentions 2 and Psycho Beach Party.  TV credits include "The Office" and "Smallville."    

Doubt opened on Broadway on March 9th, 2005 and ran through July 2nd, 2006; it had originally played a hit run at Manhattan Theatre Club. With Tony-winning performances by Cherry Jones and Adriane Lenox, and Tony-nominated work by Brian F. O'Byrne, the show won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play in addition to the Pulitzer Prize. Doug Hughes won a Tony for directing the play.

"Set against the backdrop of a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, the show is the story of a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision. Should she voice concerns about one of her male colleagues...even if she's not entirely certain of the truth?," stated press notes for the show's Broadway run.

Doubt will be released in the United States this month, with a limited release that began on December 12th.
