I had higher hopes for Max Irons and Paul Wesley than ending up on Lifetime. Especially i anything having to do with Flowers In The Attic. I dislike the books and have not like any film adaptation of the books.
Lifetime announced on August 17th that they have greenlit four-part TV event Flowers in the Attic: The Origin, with an all star cast.
Now some of the members of this “all star” cast are meant for a career in Lifetime films. There is nothing wrong with that, as hey, we all watch them.
The cast also includes Jemima Rooper, Kelsey Grammer, Harry Hamlin, Kate Mulgrew, Alana Boden, Hannah Dodd, T’Shan Williams, and Callum Kerr.
“Flowers in the Attic: The Origin tells the story of the headstrong and determined Olivia Winfield (Rooper) who is working alongside her beloved father (Hamlin) when she finds herself unexpectedly wooed by one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors, Malcolm Foxworth (Irons),” the release for the movie read.
After a whirlwind romance, Olivia finds herself as the mistress of the imposing Foxworth Hall, where she soon discovers that the fairytale life she expected has quickly become a nightmare. Under Malcolm’s debonair exterior lies a dark heart, and a twisted evil lurks inside Foxworth Hall that will threaten Olivia’s happiness and that of her children. Her attempts to keep them all safe ultimately push Olivia to become to most terrifying version of herself, leading to her inevitable—and notorious—decision to lock her grandchildren in the attic…”
Do you like Flowers In The Attic? Will this be a mini-series that you watch?
