The King adaptation with Garris at the helm
Mick Garris is at work on his latest Stephen King adaptation Bag of Bones.
Jason Priestly has joined the cast, reports EW. He’ll being playing a literary agent to Pierce Brosnan’s character. Anabeth Gish and Melissa George also star in the mini-series.
Garris has directed a number of King projects including The Stand, The Shining, Riding the Bullet and Sleepwalkers.
Airing on A&E, “Bag of Bones” is the story of grief and lost love’s enduring bonds, an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire and a new love haunted by past secrets. Bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, played by Pierce Brosnan, is unable to stop grieving after the sudden death of his wife Jo. A dream inspires him to return to the couple’s lakeside retreat in western Maine where he becomes involved in a custody battle between the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child’s enormously wealthy grandfather, the mysterious ghostly visitations, the ever-escalating nightmares and the realization that his late wife still has something to tell him.
