Star Trek

and Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana will star in NBC's upcoming, four-hour miniseries Rosemary's Baby, an adaptation of the 1967 best-selling suspense novel by Ira Levin. The story revolves around a young wife and would-be mother who moves into a Paris apartment that has a dark past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child. The story was previously made as a 1968 feature film directed by Roman Polanski and starring Mia Farrow. "Zoe has proven that she is one of our most gifted actresses, and we think she has the perfect combination of spirit and gravitas to take on the title role from Ira Levin's infamous novel," said NBC's head of longform programming Quinn Taylor. "With Zoe leading the cast under the direction of Agnieszka Holland, this reimagined event miniseries is off to a great start." Holland is directing the mini from a script by Scott Abbott, who wrote Queen of the Damned and the TV movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.
