Early in Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See, based on Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Daniel LeBlanc (Mark Ruffalo) unveils a three-dimensional replica of his Parisian neighborhood for his blind daughter, Marie-Laure (played as a child by Nell Sutton). “It’s an image right off the pages of the novel,” says director Shawn Levy, who helmed the five-episode series. “I remember imagining [it] so vividly years ago when I read the book.”
Levy — whose film credits include Free Guy and the upcoming Deadpool 3 — admits the World War II drama is unlike anything he’s done before. “I picked creative partners who understood this needed an aesthetic language,” he says, noting that photography director Tobias A. Schliessler and production designer Simon Elliott brought “texture, art and atmosphere” to LeBlanc’s home. “In order to understand the trauma of Daniel and Marie fleeing Paris, we need to establish their world first,...

That summer of 2022, the walled coastal French town of Saint-Malo got a taste of Hollywood, with “Stranger Things” director-executive producer Shawn Levy running up and down the windy beach, fiercely determined to shoot crucial scenes of his World War II-set Netflix series “All the Light We Cannot See.”
It wasn’t over-the-top action that Levy was hyped about, but rather an intimate father-daughter moment portrayed by Mark Ruffalo and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, who plays Marie-Laure, a courageous blind teenager living in Nazi-occupied France.
Loberti, who is a Ph.D. student in rhetoric at Penn State, was discovered through a worldwide casting call for actors who are blind or visually impaired.

The textured adaptation,...
