Stephen King’s Bag of Bones Miniseries is Official

We were one of the first to report on the project and casting earlier this year, but now there is an official announcement and network involved. Stephen King's Bag of Bones is being adapted into a miniseries starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Mick Garris. 

According to Deadline, A&E  has picked up the project, which will premiere as a two-night, four-hour miniseries. Although filming was expected to start in July, it will now begin next month in Nova Scotia. There is no word yet on a release date for the miniseries, but we'll have more information in the near future.

Here is a plot synopsis for those that have not read the book: “Several years after his wife’s death, novelist Mike Noonan still suffers writer’s block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple’s summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called Sara Laughs. Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child’s enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that Sara Laughs is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him.”
