BagBones120211 Mick Garris Bag of Bones Gets DVD Date

Ryan Daley straight up hated A&E’s Bag of Bones when it aired mid-December. Now, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced it will arrive on DVD March 13 with the folowing special features: Voicemail from Sid featurette and I Miss You Jo featurette.

Mick Garris’ four-hour long adaptation stars Melissa George, Jason Priestly, Pierce Brosnan, Annabeth Gish, William Schallert, and Anika Noni Rose.

“ ‘Bag of Bones’ is based on a Stephen King novel about a writer (Brosnan) trying to recover from the death of his wife. A dream inspires him to return to the couple’s lakeside retreat in western Maine, where he becomes involved in a custody battle between the daughter of an attractive young widow (George) and the child’s enormously wealthy grandfather while dealing with mysterious ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the realization that his late wife still has something to tell him.” READ MORE

BagBones120211 [Review] Ryan Daley Says Bag of Bones Has No Bite

Heed our warning….

There just wasn’t a whole lotta hype behind A&E’s
Bag of Bones, their miniseries adapted from a Stephen King novella and directed by king regular Mick Garris. Even I didn’t set my dvr. Ryan Daley turned it off halfway through and picked up a rerun in order to tough through for the following review.

“Let’s be honest, there no way that even the juiciest of gore was ever gonna save an endeavor as silly as ‘Bag of Bones’, an adaptation that was destined to be weak sauce from the very beginning. It’s one of those King movies that’s all bark and no bite. And it never really had any bark to begin with.”

‘Bag of Bones’ Nabs 007

Starting pre-production almost a month ago, the Bag Of Bones mini-series finally has a name attached to it besides for director Mick Garris. Although final negotiations are still underway, it looks like Pierce Brosnan is all but set to star as Mike Noonan in the Stephen King adaptation.

Principal photography was supposed to start on July 6 in Nova Scotia, but since no one else has signed on yet (that we know of), don’t be surprised if the date is pushed back a few days unless they really ramp things up.

Bag Of Bones tells the story of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who – four years after the passing of his wife – is unable to write and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs. Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway and finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a vindictive millionaire, Max Devore, who is trying to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother, Mattie. As Mike is drawn into Mattie’s struggle–and begins to fall in love with her–he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations and escalating terrors. What do the forces that have been unleashed here want of Mike Noonan?

Officially set up as feature-length film during the late 90′s, the long gestating adaptation of Stephen King’s Bag Of Bones is finally coming to fruition as a mini-series.

According to seaandbescene.com, pre-production on the project started today, with principal photography slated to begin on July 6 in Nova Scotia and last until the end of August. Sony has not confirmed when it will air, what channel, or even who is in the cast. All that’s known at this point is that Mick Garris will write and direct.

Based on the King novel published in ’98, Bag Of Bones tells the story of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who – four years after the passing of his wife – is unable to write and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs. Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway and finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a vindictive millionaire, Max Devore, who is trying to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother, Mattie.
