Two months ago we told you with some trepidation that Kate Winslet is starring in a 5 hour miniseries version of the 1945 movie classic “Mildred Pierce” and it’s already started filming. Kate is dressed in her depression era fashions shooting in New York. Todd Haynes, the genius behind “Far From Heaven” pays close attention to lush period decor and fashion so we have high expectations for the movie. Joan Crawford’s role is not easy to assume, but if anyone can do it, Kate can do it with Todd Haynes.

i can’t see this happening
as i am also a huge mildred pierce fan
i loved far from heaven so maybe this could work….. i will check it out.
sorry, THEY USE IT IN THE RESTROOM?
have they run out of story lines now?
I agree w/ PitBullLover — I can’t imagine anyone but Joan Crawford in the role… but, “Far From Heaven” was a great sort-of remake of “All That Heaven Allows,” and it was terrific!
Un-uh…it just ain’t happ’n!!!
Kate’s magnificent and I have huge expectations for the miniseries… can’t wait.
Todd Haynes is an incredibly talented director but this is cinematic sacrilege.
Filming in New York? The story is set in and around Los Angles, Beverly Hills and Long Beach.
I can’t wait to see this. Read the book, Joan Crawford’s version was overdone.
