Based on V.C. Andrews’ controversial book that quickly became a cult classic, the Lifetime Original Movie "Flowers in the Attic" weaves the twisted story of the Dollanganger kids who, after the unexpected death of their father, are convinced by their mother Corrine (Heather Graham) to stay hidden in the attic of their wealthy grandparents’ mansion so she can reclaim the family fortune. But as her visits begin to wane after she becomes involved with a new husband (Dylan Bruce), the children endure unimaginable treatment at the hands of their ruthless grandmother Olivia Foxworth (Ellen Burstyn). As years go by and the eldest children Cathy (Kiernan Shipka) and Christopher (Mason Dye) come of age, both emotionally and physically, their family’s sordid past entraps them further as they look to each other for comfort.

Andrews’ first published novel, “Flowers in the Attic” was an instant hit when it was released in 1979, topping bestsellers lists in just two weeks. Captivating millions of readers worldwide, the book launched a series of five novels about the Dollanganger and Foxworth families. Andrews’ novels are famous for their twisted, rags-to-riches family tales that explore why people love to hate and hurt each other. Today, there are 106 million copies of her books that have been published in 95 countries.

“Flowers in the Attic” is produced by Front Street Pictures, Inc. for Lifetime

It takes a dedicated actor to tackle the intricate, emotionally charged characters portrayed in V.C. Andrew’s classic novel Flowers in the Attic, and a fearless actor to take on such a project as their breakout role! Mason Dye is just that – fearless, fresh-faced and up for a challenge. Starring in the Lifetime movie adaptation of Flowers in the Attic as Christopher Dollanganger, Dye gives the kind of performance that shows he has what it takes to become Hollywood’s next big thing.

Check out the interview below where Mason Dye discusses getting into character, working with co-star Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) and staying grounded.

The Daily Quirk: Congratulations on Lifetime deciding to move ahead with the sequel to Flowers in the Attic before the film’s premiere. Did that announcement take you be surprise?

Mason Dye: It actually did! At the TCA in Pasadena, that was actually the first time I had heard that. Before the release even, it’s very exciting.

TDQ: So let’s back up and talk about Flowers. You star as Christopher Dollanganger, whose family has some pretty questionable parenting skills. Can you tell us a bit about how you found out about the role and what attracted you to it?

MD: Before auditioning, I’d actually never heard of it. I’d never heard of Flowers in the Attic. I’d never heard of the book, which was surprising. My parent’s had heard of it and they filled me in on it. Then I watched the 1987 version and I Googled it a lot to better understand it. Once I landed the role I knew I should read the book, especially because of the huge following this book already had. I wanted to do the character of Christopher justice. I read the book and that’s when I really, really fell in love with it and it made me even more excited about being attached to this project. The story is so strong and so powerful. Christopher is a very complex character and a hard role to play, so I was very excited about it.

TDQ: You do an amazing job of capturing Christopher’s conflicted and longing nature. Aside from reading the book and researching, how did you prepare for the role?

MD: A lot of back story and a lot of script analysis. Also just building my character. I like to write a lot, so I kept a notebook and wrote about character relationships, everything about myself as well, and that’s how I really built up Christopher. I had to stay within the guidelines, stay true to Christopher, but add my own spin on it as well. That was really fun, getting to bring him to life.

TDQ: You have a fabulous cast in the film with you, Ellen Burstyn, Heather Graham, but it was the relationship between your character Christopher and Cathy, played by Kiernan Shipka that was especially gripping for me. Can you tell me a bit about what it was like working together?

MD: Oh, Kiernan [Shipka] was incredible. She is the most intelligent 14-year-old I have ever met. Whenever you’re talking to her you’d swear you were talking to a 24-year-old. And she’s so humble too. To have so much success at a young age, she’s so down to earth and so real. It was great to work with her too because she is so incredibly talented and the presence she has, it’s insane that a 14-year-old is doing that. She’s incredible.

TDQ: You guys definitely had great chemistry on-screen. Was it difficult playing such a complex relationship?

MD: It was tough, yes, but it wasn’t that hard. Kiernan and I really clicked; we’re really good friends now. Once we cut, we would just make jokes and hang out. We played Words with Friends a lot, that was like our go-to game. She would always get upset because I would beat her, but she’ll deny that! It definitely was difficult but that’s what you love about acting, challenging stuff.

TDQ: Flowers in the Attic has such dark tense overtones. What was it like on set? Is there any particular scene that stands out as having been especially memorable to shoot?

MD: Yes, I would have to say my most memorable scene was the first scene we shot with Ellen [Burstyn]. When Kiernan and I get caught in the bathroom after I walk in on her undressing, that was the first scene we ever shot with Ellen. It was just rehearsal, we weren’t even in our outfits yet, and she came in in full character – it was insane. Afterwards, Kiernan and I just looked at each other and were like “Goodness, this lady is terrifying!”

TDQ: She terrified me too! What’s Ellen like in person, off camera?

MD: She’s so nice! That’s the craziest thing to see her transition from being this evil character. Whenever you talk to her off set, she’s such as sweetheart. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

TDQ: You’re quickly becoming a household name and fans are eager to find out more about you, so can you tell us a bit about how you like to spend your time when you’re not busy acting? Any hobbies?

MD: Yes, I love food! That’s one of my hobbies, I love to eat. I love to bowl, me and my friend go bowling a lot. We love to play mini putt-putt, that’s one of our go-tos. We also love to go to movies. We probably go to a movie every other day. Other than that we just love to hang out! Going to the beach, that’s another thing we like to do.

TDQ: So you’re just like us! How do you stay so grounded? You’ve had a lot of success in such a short time, how do you stay connected with family and friends?

MD: Well, it’s important to remember where you came from. Like you said, I’m no different than anybody else. We all do our own thing, mine just happens to gather more attention. Honestly, going back home, seeing all my friends, that keeps me sane and keeps my grounded. Just having the support from my friends and family, and also just getting out and doing everyday things like going to the beach – it’s the small things in life.

TDQ: And one more for fun. There were lots of images of you with headphones on heading to set to film Flowers, so we have to ask what’s the most played song on your iPod?

MD: The most played song? That is a toughy. I’m a huge Drake fan, so his whole new album, but the song I’ve listened to the most off that album is “The Language.”

TDQ: One last question. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve gotten in your professional career so far?

MD: I would say the best advice I’ve gotten so far, nobody actually told me it, it was just the way Kiernan, Heather [Graham] and Ellen acted on set and how they treated me. Going into this, they’re all huge stars and I wasn’t, this is actually my first big role, but to see them with such incredible success and how they treated me, so welcoming and so kind, that was the biggest thing I learned because that’s going to stick with me forever. That’s always going to keep me humble, to remember how they treated me when they had so much success. That’s probably the biggest thing that has really impacted me.

The Daily Quirk would like to thank Mason Dye for taking the time to chat with us! To find out more about Flowers in the Attic check out the film’s Official Site and be sure to tune in for the premiere of Flowers in the Attic on Lifetime Jan. 18 at 8/7c.

'Flowers In The Attic': 6 Things You Need To Know Before Watching

Grab the popcorn, call up your friends and gather 'round because on Saturday (January 18) Lifetime will premiere "Flowers in the Attic," an adaptation of V.C. Andrews' bestselling yet highly controversial 1979 novel.

The shocking book captivated readers in the '80s and '90s, with some schools banning the book over its graphic plot line. A 1987 film strayed from the novel, and since then,readers have been anxiously awaiting for it to take proper movie form.

In anticipation of the premiere, MTV News has put together six things you need to know before watching "Flowers in the Attic."

1. The Plot

The story takes place in the 1950s and revolves Corrine, a mother who has to uproot her family to her parents' home after the untimely death of her husband. As Corrine attempts to repair the relationship with her father, she, along with her abusive mother, lock her four children in a secret room. Years of torment and neglect pass as the two oldest children devise an escape plan and form a bond that goes way beyond the boundaries of sibling love.

2. Keeping The Controversy

For the most part, "Flowers in the Attic" does stay true to the book, from Cathy's grandmother forcing her to chop her hair to make her seem less desirable to her brother Chris, to the infamous whipping scene that will surely have some turning their eyes away from the screen. But perhaps even more uncomfortable is the incestuous relationship between Cathy (Kiernan Shipka) and Chris.

"I think the Cathy/ Christopher thing is just based on this unhealthy dependence on one another," Shipka said on the "Today" show. "It's such a different story."

3. The Leading Ladies

The Lifetime adaption of the book packed a trio of talented leading ladies. On top of "Mad Men" star Shipka, there's also Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn, who takes on the role of the evil grandmother, while "Hangover" star Heather Graham trades in sweet for sinister as the mother, Corrine.

4. Who Is Mason Dye?

Taking on the controversial role of Christopher is 19-year-old Mason Dye. Dye got his start playing Brandon on the web series "The Secret Life of an American Cheerleader," but "Flowers in the Attic" marks his first role in a television movie. Not too much is known about the blue-eyed budding actor, but if you head on over to his Instagram you'll see tons of selfies, some shirtless photos and his love of sports!

5. What Are The Critics Saying?

Reviews seem to be mixed on flick, with the New York Times saying that the Lifetime film "played it straight," and Variety stating that it didn't capture the spirit of Andrews' writing." However, others praised the film for adapting the book "faithfully" while still making it entertaining and catching "most of the necessary highlights ."

6. A Sequel Is Already In The Works

With such a big buzz surrounding the film adaptation, Lifetime has decided to move forward with V.C. Andrews' second novel in the series, "Petals in the Wind," despite the fact that "Flowers in the Attic" has yet to premiere. Screenwriter Kayla Alpert told Entertainment Weekly the sequel will pick up 10 years after "Flowers" and will be a "very juicy and compelling revenge drama."
