Our Character Study column takes the CanLit books you love and re-imagines them as Hollywood movies.The tone of the book is filled with secrets tucked into mysteries and wrapped in enigmas. It’s about the frightening shadow that the past can cast on the present. The story is told from two points of view, a mother and her daughter. Both stories are filled with conflict and fear—of truths being revealed and the need to face up to them.The Director: Michael DouglasCasting Choices: (Main players)Hannah Baran as Alicia Vikander  Rokhl (young) as Carey MullganRokhl (old) as Tova FelshuhMaximillian Mohr as Jeffrey Dean MorganBarak Baranovitch as Judd HirschChaim Sonenshein as Michael DouglasHa-Gay Heilemann as Sebastian KochWith the casting call complete, All Lit Up and Guerrnica Editions present Don’t Ask for the big screen:
