Mick Garris is finally rolling on his long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King’s Bag of Bones, with no less than Pierce Brosnan in the lead.
This has long been making its way into being, but it’s finally here: Mick Garris will direct Pierce Brosnan in Bag of Bones for A&E. Brosnan’s going to play one of King’s favorite character types — the troubled novelist — and Mick will be playing one of his (and our) favorite real-world parts: director of a horror picture.
Here’s the news via Deadline:
