About Pierce Brosnan, George said, "A bit divine. Lead role with him. I just love working with him. I have this list of actors that I want to work with and he's one of them. He just treats me so well, and he's so funny and so gracious, and all I do is laugh. Any handsome leading man, I crack up laughing."
Here's a little of what we know about the Bag of Bones mini-series:
- Directed by Mick Garris
- Pierce Brosnan: Mike Noonan
- Annabeth Gish: Jo Noonan, Mike's dead wife
- Melissa George: Mattie Devore
- Caitlin Carmichael: Kyra Devore
- Anika Rose: Sara Tidwell, a ghost haunting the house.
- Jason Priestley: Noonan's literary agent.
- William Schallert: Max Devore, Mattie Devore's rich in-law who wants custody of her child.
- David Sheftell: Young Max Devore.
- Gary Levert: George Footman
Melissa George is delightful. I wish Garris had cast younger to match the novel -- someone like Amanda Seyfried, for example -- but George will be good in the role.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this one. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI love Melissa George, but I agree with Bryant a bit - the character is much younger than she. Still think she'll be great, though.
ReplyDeleteDear goodness, this better be GOOD. This is my No. 1 favorite King novel and to me it deserves only the best in an adaptation.
