Early casting rumors for King adaptation
When we last spoke to Mick Garris, director of the upcoming Bag of Bones adaptation, he told us he unfortunately had to remain mum on casting.
The website Sea and Be Scene, however, reports that their sources connected to the production say Pierce Brosnan (Goldeneye) has been cast as Mike Noonan in the film. This is the same site that accurately said principal photography was beginning on the film this summer, so they could be dead-on.
Garris – who helmed The Stand and Riding the Bullet – is once again adapting Stephen King. Shooting will take place in Nova Scotia.
Synopsis: Several years after his wife’s death, novelist Mike Noonan still suffers writer’s block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple’s summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called Sara Laughs. Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child’s enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that Sara Laughs is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him.
