So I was totally hanging out at the Peach Pit listening to some Paula Abdul on the jukebox when guess what I heard? Jason Priestley just landed a role in A&E’s mini series adaptation of Stephen King’sBag of Bones! I know right! That’s totally awesome! Priestley has been cast as the literary agent to Pierce Brosnan’s character Mike Noonan who is spending the summer at his lake house in Maine following the sudden death of his wife. Naturally the place is haunted. Also spending the summer at the lake is Melissa George (The Amityville Horror).
This makes the second Stephen King project Jason is a part of. Earlier this summer he joined the cast of SyFy’s Haven and immediately started making moves on Emily Rose. Haven is loosely based on King’s pulp novel The Colorado Kid and Jason plays a guy whose particular problem is that everyone loves him…even the dudes.
Look for Bag of Bones to start rattling around your television in 2012.
