TV – NBC Taps Zoe Saldana To Headline ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Miniseries!

Zoe Saldana imageThe beautiful star of Star Trek, Zoe Saldana (pictured) has been cast in the lead of the NBC miniseries adaptation of Rosemary’s Baby.  Saldana has a proven track record and has the acting chops to carry this film and I believe she’ll be great in it.  Read on below for additional information on the miniseries.

Per Deadline, Avatar and Star Trek star Zoe Saldana has been tapped as the lead in NBC’s four-hour miniseries Rosemary’s Baby, an adaptation of the 1967 best-selling suspense novel by Ira Levin. The mini centers on Rosemary (Saldana), a young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband, moves into a Paris apartment that has a darkly storied past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child. The role was played by Mia Farrow in Roman Polanski’s 1968 feature adaptation.

“Zoe has proven that she is one of our most gifted actresses, and we think she has the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas to take on the title role from Ira Levin’s infamous novel,” said NBC’s head of longform Quinn Taylor. “With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event miniseries is off to a great start.” Holland is directing the mini from a script by Scott Abbott. Production is set to begin shortly in Paris.
