The movie adaptation of that octopus book has rounded out its cast.
Lewis Pullman, Colm Meaney and Joan Chen have joined Sally Field in Netflix’s adaptation of Remarkably Bright Creatures, the wildly popular novel by Shelby Van Pelt. (How popular? It’s been on the New York Times best-seller list for 64 weeks.)
Also boarding the roll call are Kathy Baker (Picket Fences), Beth Grant (Little Miss Sunshine, No Country For Old Men) and Single Drunk Female star Sofia Black D’Elia.
Olivia Newman, best known for helming Where the Crawdads Sing, is directing the feature that is now shooting in Vancouver.
The novel tells of the unique relationship between a lonely elderly widow named Tova working as a janitor at an aquarium and a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus living at the facility. Tova forms an unlikely friendship with the curmudgeonly cephalopod, but unbeknownst to her, Marcellus is on a mission to solve a mystery that will heal the widow’s heart and lead her to a life-changing discovery.
