Michelle Rodriguez (“Furious 7”) will join “Milton’s Secret”, the film adaptation of Eckhart Tolle and Robert Friedman’s children’s novel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Donald Sutherland is already onboard the Buck Productions, Riverside Entertainment and Hulo Films production, which is shooting in Hamilton, Ontario until the end of October.

Rodriguez will play a school teacher lifting the spirits of the film’s central character, Milton, a young boy played by William Ainscough, who is bullied by fellow students. Sutherland will play Milton’s grandfather, who helps the young boy discover that his obsession with his preteen fears will prevent him from finding true happiness.
