Hey, everyone.
I heard about this movie that will be coming out next year, called Wonderstruck, which is based off of a book. From this article here, I can see that it's about two deaf children. I haven't read the book, but from looking online, the one deaf character, Rose, will be played by Millie Simmonds, who is deaf. The other character is deaf in one ear, but I believe the actor is hearing. Also, from IMDB (beware: spoilers), it looks as if Julianne Moore will be playing "older Rose".
I'm happy there is a deaf actress playing a deaf character, but I don't see why the character, when aged up, will be played by a hearing actress, even though I love Julianne Moore.
What are your thoughts and feelings?
