Shawn Levy is a producer, writer, actor, and director. You know his work, including the "Night at the Museum" movies, "Stranger Things," "Free Guy," "The Adam Project" and so much more. He'll soon be reuniting with Ryan Reynolds for the latest installment of the "Deadpool" series and directing a "Star Wars" film, but first, his latest project is the Netflix adaptation of the bestselling, Pulitzer-winning "All the Light We Cannot See."
On this episode of "Salon Talks," Levy discusses translating the beloved novel into a limited series, conducting a nationwide casting search for a blind actress to play the lead and his approach to directing such a varied body of work. "I've always known that I'm never going to be one of these filmmakers whose work has a signature aesthetic," he said. "I'm not Wes Anderson, I'm not Baz Luhrman. Certain directors, their movies always look like their movies. I take my aesthetics and my style from the tone of the story."
