hollywoodreporter.comEva Green, Josh Hartnett to Star in Showtime's 'Penny Dreadful'
Eva Green and Josh Hartnett will star in the drama from John Logan, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Penny Dreadful was created by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator), who is on board to write and executive produce alongside Academy Award winner Sam Mendes and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road). The psycho-sexual horror series will begin production in the fall in London.
Hartnett will play Ethan Chandler, a man of action and daring, he's not afraid of violence. He's charming and brash but there are demons behind his eyes. He's more complicated than he likes to admit.
Green will play Vanessa, the singular female of the story. She's enigmatic with haunted eyes and utterly composed. She will prove herself a force to be reckoned with and the heroine of the series.
Production will begin in October and will be on the air in the spring.
Well to be fair, TV has a lot more time. They get what? 8-14 episodes? That's 8-14hrs (a little less for commercials).
