‘All the Light We Cannot See’ panel: A global casting search finds two needles in a haystack [Watch]
People will look at the cast of the epic Netflix limited series adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II-themed novel “All the Light We Cannot See” from author Anthony Doerr and finds a few names that catch their eye – specifically Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie. They’re big names with decades-long acting pedigrees, after all. But the real stars of the four-parter that premieres in its entirety on November 2 are two females you have never heard of – one a young child, the other a young woman – for whom the series is their introduction to performing: Nell Sutton and Aria Mia Loberti.
The two portray the same role a decade or so apart and are the product of a global casting search for actresses to play the lead character Marie-Laure LeBlanc. As “All the Light We Cannot See” casting director Lucy Bevan told an audience at the DGA Theater in...

Plot: The story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.
Review: Anthony Doerr’s acclaimed novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 2015, one year after Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch.

Netflix unveiled the full trailer for “All the Light We Cannot See,” its limited series adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, on Tuesday, offering a closer look at the prestige drama.
“Stranger Things” and “Shadow and Bone” executive producer Shawn Levy directed all four episodes of Steven Knight’s teleplay, which follows the stories of Marie-Laure LeBlanc (Aria Mia Loberti) and Werner (Louis Hoffman) as they intersect during World War II in German-occupied France. Marie-Laure rebels against the Nazis with her nightly broadcasts, while she roams the streets with her walking stick — she is blind — by day. Werner was trained to pick up radio frequencies at the institution where he was inducted into the German armed forces. His affinity for tracing airwaves and soundwaves sets him on a collision course to discover Marie-Laure’s clandestine broadcasts.
