The Light Between Oceans (Michael Fassbender / Alicia Vikander)

[MifuneFan]

Last year I read the novel The Light Between Oceans, and I thought it was great. I felt it would work well as a film, and I was happy to learn that Dreamworks picked up the movie rights, and even happier to find out that the casting is amazing, with Michael Fassbender, and Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) as the leads. It's being directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine). Definitely looking forward to this one next year.

The years-long New York Times bestseller soon to be a major motion picture from Spielberg’s Dreamworks that is “irresistible…seductive…with a high concept plot that keeps you riveted from the first page” (O, The Oprah Magazine).

After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.

Tom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But Isabel insists the baby is a “gift from God,” and against Tom’s judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them. -
