Hey everyone! I'm back! Atleast as back as I can be, for the time being. I apologize for dropping off the face of the planet, but things have been crazy over at Chateau Lovecraft, and I'm still attempting to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.
BUT, I have news to share.
A couple months ago I first shared the news that NBC will be adapting Ira Levin's best selling into a miniseries. While the novel has already been adapted into one of the greatest horror films of all time, directed by Roman Polanski in 1968, I am interested in seeing what NBC does with this, especially after this casting announcement.
Who, pray tell, is taking on the mantle of the titular character so beautifully played by Mia Farrow in '68? None other than Star Trek's Zoe Saldana. The miniseries will be directed by Agnieszka Holland.

Agnieszka Holland
Agnieszka Holland the United States on a modest budget of $3.2 million. It was met
with near universal acclaim from film critics and earned numerous
nominations and awards. The American Film Institute ranked the film 9th in their 100 Years...100 Thrills list. The official tagline of the film is "Pray for Rosemary's Baby."

What do you think about this casting news? Are you happy with Zoe, or did you have someone else in mind? To be completely honest, I haven't put too much thought into this remake. With everything being adapted for television these days, I believe it best to keep an open mind. It leaves little room for disappointment.

if they do it right, it will be right... i always was terrified of the film and it's sort of sequel. i think the cast is okay, because i enjoy her as an actress... hollywood hype and spin to improve it... might destroy it fast.
