Kate as Mildred

HBO has finally confirmed the worst casting secret it has kept in a long time: Kate Winslet will star in a five-hour miniseries adaptation of James M. Cain’s Depression-era novel Mildred Pierce.

Well, if anyone should step into Joan Crawford’s shoes it ought to be Winslet.

Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) will direct the project, which is set to begin production in New York in a couple of months.
