Destin Daniel Cretton spoke about reuniting with Sadie Sink and what audiences can expect from her character. The director said, “I remember when we were wrapping Glass Castle, and Sadie told me she had just been cast in a series called Stranger Things. I told her that that sounded cool, having no idea she would blow up and grow into this spectacular performer.”

The filmmaker continued, “Sadie’s role in Brand New Day brings a beautiful combination of strength and vulnerability. She plays certain scenes with a ferocity that’s electrifying.”

For those unaware, before her breakthrough with Stranger Things, Sadie Sink worked with Destin Daniel Cretton in The Glass Castle. The biographical drama was based on Jeannette Walls' memoir of the same name, in which Sink portrayed the younger version of Lori Walls, whose adult counterpart was played by Sarah Snook.
