This is no dream. This is really happening.
Say what you want about the devil, he’s got good taste. Zoe Saldana, come on down. As Minnie Castavet said in the original Rosemary’s Baby, “He chose you, honey! From all the women in the world to be the mother of his only living son!”
Now, I personally have a thing about “baby bump” stories, but hey, this is an infernal occasion. NBC will initiate Zoe Saldana into its new four-hour miniseries, Rosemary’s Baby. Zoe Saldana, who is best known as the new Uhura on the rebooted Star Trek and in 2009's Avatar, will take the role to term in Paris this time. The original took place in New York City. The Rosemary’s Baby miniseries is based on Ira Levin’s 1967 horror novel. The screenplay is being written by Scott Abbott and James Wong. Saldana is also executive producing.
Quinn Taylor, Executive Vice President of Movies, Miniseries and International Co-Productions at NBC Entertainment said “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. With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event mini-series is off to a great start.”
Minnie Castavet believes that Zoe’s sweet roles in the past are no obstacle. Castavet said the role could have gone to “Anyone! Anyone! It didn't have to be a no-good slut straight from the gutter. Just as long as she is young, healthy and not a virgin!”
I hope the baby has his Father’s eyes.
