Lars Eidinger and Louis Hofmann will play in a new Netflix mini-series – and will be in front of the camera alongside international stars.
Lars Eidinger (46, “Faking Hitler”) and Louis Hofmann (24, “Dark”) will appear in the Netflix series “All the Light We Cannot See”. This is reported by the US industry magazine “Variety”. The two German actors join an international cast. Hugh Laurie (62, “Dr. House”) and Mark Ruffalo (54, “Avengers: Endgame”) will also be in front of the camera for the film adaptation of the novel, which will be implemented as a four-part mini-series.
Encounter in occupied France
Aria Mia Loberti plays the blind French teenage Marie-Laure LeBlanc who meets the young German soldier Werner Pfennig (Louis Hofmann) during World War II. In France, occupied by the Nazis, they feel the consequences of the war. Lars Eidinger portrays Reinhold von Rumpel, a cruel and terminally ill Nazi officer on the hunt for a legendary diamond believed to bestow eternal life on its owner. Mark Ruffalo plays Marie-Laure’s father, Daniel, while Hugh Laurie plays her great-uncle Etienne.
The novel “All the Light We Cannot See” (German title: “All the light that we don’t see”) comes from the US writer Anthony Doerr (48). Shawn Levy (53, “Stranger Things”) is the producer and director of the miniseries. Steven Knight (62, “Peaky Blinders”) is responsible for the screenplay, who also acts as an executive producer together with Levy.
