It looks like the mist is finally clearing as casting is almost done. Today Marcia Gay Harden and Toby Jones have disappeared into The Mist, Dimension Films' adaptation of a Stephen King story being helmed by Frank Darabont, who also will produce, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Read on for the full story.
The Hollywood Reporter writes:
The script, written by Darabont, is set after a strange storm blows through a Maine town and its citizens are attacked by deadly creatures. A group of townfolks barricade themselves in a supermarket and struggle for survival. Thomas Jane, Andre Braugher, Laurie Holden and Amin Joseph already have been cast.
Harden will play Mrs. Carmody, an outspoken and ultimately divisive member of the trapped group; Jones will play Ollie, a mild-mannered supermarket manager who is forced to take heroic measures to save his life and the lives of others.
Shooting begins this week in Louisiana. Castle Rock will produce along with Dimension.
Harden won an Academy Award for her work in 2000's "Pollock" and was Oscar-nominated for 2003's "Mystic River." She will next be seen in "The Invisible," directed by David Goyer, and recently completed production on Paramount Vantage's "Into the Wild," directed by Sean Penn. Harden is repped by CAA and Framework.
British actor Jones played Truman Capote in last year's "Infamous." He is repped by UTA, Sue Latimer of Artists Rights Group Limited and attorney Carlos Goodman.
