I liked the book when I was a gullible teen. It's far too preachy and propagandistic to make into an enjoyable movie. IMDB has no casting news.
Even if it did, now would be way too early to trust it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
