Zoe Saldaña And Jason Isaacs Starred In A Forgotten TV Remake Of A Classic Horror Movie
A horror classic got a TV remake on NBC starring Zoe Saldaña and Jason Isaacs in 2014. The response was chilly, and Saldaña had seen it coming.
Zoe Saldaña and Jason Isaacs starred in a forgotten TV remake of the classic horror movie "Rosemary's Baby" in 2014. The miniseries, which aired on NBC, starred Saldaña as Rosemary, who becomes pregnant after moving into an apartment building with her husband, played by Patrick J. Adams. Isaacs portrayed one of the Satanic neighbors.
The biggest change from the original 1968 film was the setting, which was relocated to Paris. Directed by Agnieszka Holland, the miniseries received mixed reviews, with NPR panning it and Time finding it boring. The adaptation was criticized for Zoe Saldaña's casting as Rosemary, with comparisons drawn to Mia Farrow's portrayal in the original film.
Saldaña, however, was excited to play the role and work with the director, stating that she would have fun and take the opportunity. Despite the expectations, the miniseries received a lukewarm response, with a 27 percent approval rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes and underwhelming television ratings.
