Netflix Sets WWII Series with Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie Based on Acclaimed Novel
Anthony Doerr's World War II novel, "All the Light We Cannot See," won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and has sold an astounding 15 million copies since its publication in 2014. After years of development, Netflix has committed to make a series based on the book.
"All the Light We Cannot See" tells the story of Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl who forms a bond with Werner Pfennig, a young German soldier during the Nazi occupation of France. Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk from the Marvel movies) and Hugh Laurie ("House"
are set to star opposite newcomer Aria Mia Loberti as Marie-Laure.
Ruffalo will play Daniel LeBlanc, Marie-Laure's father, and the locksmith at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Laurie will play Etienne LeBlanc, Daniel's brother and a World War I veteran dealing with PTSD who does clandestine radio broadcasts for the French Resistance.
The all-important role of Werner in this wartime romance has yet to be cast.
