The "Hillary" miniseries will be written and directed by Courtney Hunt and will go in-depth on Clinton's life from 1998 to the present, during which she has served as First Lady, senator, and secretary of state.

The new version of ROSEMARY'S BABY, based on Ira Levin's horror novel about the devil and a young husband and wife, will be set in Paris and is being adapted by writer Scott Abbott.

TOMMYKNOCKERS is based on King's 1987 book, which chronicles a supposed alien spaceship landing close to a small Maine town. The project will be directed by Yves Simoneau.

PLYMOUTH will be written by Walon Green and will be executive produced by Mark Burnett and Anne Thomopolous.

Lane has appeared on Broadway in The Cherry Orchard and Agamemnon, as well as off-Broadway's Runaways. She will next appear in the film Every Secret Thing. Her past credits include Man of Steel, Secretariat, Jumper, Must Love Dogs, Hard Ball, The Perfect Storm, Chaplin and more. Her turn in Unfaithful won her an Academy Award in 2002.
