Avatar and Star Trek star Zoe Saldana is set to play Rosemary 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. “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 Quinn Taylor, Executive Vice President, Movies, Miniseries and International Co-Productions, NBC Entertainment. “With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event mini-series 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. Saldana recently appeared in the Christian Bale drama “Out of the Furnace” and upcoming projects include Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Blood Ties” and the “The Book of Life.”
