Susan Sarandon Joins Logan's 'Miraculous Year' HBO Pilot

Deadline.com reports that Susan Sarandon has been cast in HBO's 'The Miraculous Year' pilot. The pilot is written by John Logan, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and includes music by Adam Guettel. Sarandon will play Patty Atwood, a director/choreographer.

'Miraculous Year' is a New York family drama, centered on Terry Segal (Norbert Leo Butz), a composer and lyricist for Broadway. His father Alex (Frank Langella) is a painter; his sister Mandy (Hope Davis) is a lawyer. The new star of Terry's show will be played by Eddie Redmayne, a role described as "captivating and sexy." A Broadway diva (LuPone) looks to be a recurring role, along with her son (Stark Sands). Filling out the cast are Lee Pace as Terry's partner, Brooks Ashmanskas as Terry's librettist, Daniel Davis as Terry's mentor, Linus Roach as Mandy's husband, Elaine Cassidy as Terry's assistant, and Remy Nozik and Logan Georges as Mandy's children.

Shooting began this summer, and the pilot is expected to be completed by early 2011.
