Los Angeles: “Bloodshot” star Guy Pearce will feature alongside Kate Winslet in upcoming HBO miniseries “Mare of Easttown”. The project will mark the actor’s reunion with Winslet a decade after they shared the screen space in HBO’s “Mildred Pierce” series.
According to Deadline, Pearce replaces actor Ben Miles, who had been originally cast in the role but left due to scheduling conflicts more than a year ago. Winslet, who is also attached as executive producer, will portray Mare Sheehan, a small-town Pennsylvania detective whose life crumbles around her as she investigates a local murder.
Pearce will essay the role of Richard Ryan, a visiting creative writing professor who wrote a dazzling novel that won the National Book Award 25 years ago, but he has never lived up to his early promise. Also part of the cast are actors Julianne Nicholson, Jean Smart, Angourie Rice, Evan Peters, Cailee Spaeny, David Denman, John Douglas Thompson, Patrick Murney, James McArdle, Sosie Bacon, Joe Tippett and Neal Huff.
“Mare of Easttown” has been created by Brad Ingelsby and he will also serve as the showrunner. Recently, Craig Zoben was hired to direct all the episodes of the show.
The director, known for his work on series such as “The Leftovers”, “Westworld” and “American Gods”, replaced filmmaker Gavin O’Conner on the project. Pearce, who most recently starred with Vin Diesel in Sony’s “Bloodshot”, will next feature in Paramount and Amazon’s “Without Remorse”, co-starring Michael B Jordan.
