Rosemary’s Baby [NBC]

First up, you have may forgotten about NBC’s previously announced plans to reboot „Rosemary’s Baby“ as a miniseries. Well, it’s moving forward and the network has made the rather fascinating choice of Agnieszka Holland to direct the project. The filmmaker is known to film buffs for her more arthouse oriented stuff like „Europa Europa“ or even more recently the HBO Europe mini-series „Burning Bush,“ which spent some time on the festival circuit this past fall. But she’s also gone behind the camera on episodes for acclaimed shows like „The Wire,“ „The Killing“ and „Treme“ so she’s no stranger to the format.

This new take on the birthing of demon spawn is based on the novel by Ira Levin, and being adapted by Scott Abbott („Queen Of The Damned,“ „Introducing Dorothy Dandridge“) and tells the story you already know, but sets it in Paris, where filming is due to begin in January. As for who will take the iconic parts played by Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes in Roman Polanski’s version? We’ll have to wait and see.
