Casting news from The Hollywood Reporter on the US version of Gene Hunt, the real hero of the magnificent Life on Mars.
Colm Meaney is, apparently, in the final stages of negotiation.
Just wanted to take a moment to point out what an excellent choice this is.
Good choice, yeah, but… couldn’t they have cast an American? Being that it’s an American remake and all?
Irish cop in a US city in the early 70s?
It’ll work just fine.
Oli –
You have obviously never been to Boston…
Good call.
Let’s hope they have moved the show out of LA though…
Re: Good Call.
I mean “casting call” and not “good call you’ve never been to Boston.”
Ah, I forgot about the old ‘Irish cop’ archetype.
