Patrick J. Adams On 'Young Werther', Working With Alison Pill, and More

Patrick J. Adams Talks About the New Romantic Comedy 'Young Werther' Based on the Classic Novel

ComingSoon spoke with Young Werther star Patrick J. Adams about the new romance movie by José Lourenço . Adams, who co-stars with Douglas Booth and Alison Pill , discussed the film’s relevancy, working with Pill, if he’d return to Suits LA, and more. It is out now in select theaters and on digital platforms from Lionsgate. The film is a romantic comedy based on the classic novel of tragic romance.

While on a simple errand to Toronto, a carefree and charming young writer named Werther stumbles across the love of his life only to discover that the young woman is engaged. Despite the urgings of his hypochondriac best friend, Werther turns his world upside down in a desperate, misguided, and hilarious quest to win her heart. Tyler Treese: Patrick, congrats on Young Werther. I had such a fun time watching this. This starts very meta. It references the book throughout in some fun ways. I was curious what your history was with The Sorrows of Young Werther, which is this classic book. I’ve never read it, and I’ve just gone down this rabbit hole since then. But did you ever read it or watch one of the adaptations? I read once a year. I have it by the bed at all times. No, I had never heard of this book until I received this script and started reading it. I thought, “What is this?” I did a little bit of research about the book and then talked to José and had him explain it to me more and why it was so relevant and such a sort of controversial book at the time. So, no, this was my first experience of this story. It’s been fascinating to make a film based on something I’d never heard of, and now learn more about the source material. José has sort of got such a funny approach to the book. He’s found a book that most people don’t know, obviously remember it’s from 1774. So, to bring it into this new world was just sort of hilarious and wonderful, and I’ve loved learning more about it
