Young Werther Filmmaker José Lourenço Explains How He Updated The Original YA Story & Why He Changed The Ending

The Sorrows of Young Werther took Europe by storm when it first released back in 1774. Now, 250 years later, writer/director José Lourenço has adapted the timeless novel for film with Young Werther, starring Douglas Booth in the title role. Werther is a young aristocrat who falls in love with Charlotte (Alison Pill). The only problem is, she's already engaged to another man (Patrick J. Adams), but Werther won't let such trivialities get in the way of his plan.
