New Casting for Stephen King's 1408 Flick Variety reports Mary McCormack has joined Dimension Films' Stephen King adaptation 1408, about a haunted hotel.
Grey's Anatomy star Kate Walsh has exited due to skedding conflicts with her ABC/Touchstone TV skein. Touchstone had warned her that the series schedule would have to take precedence over any outside role, but the actress accepted the film hoping that something could be worked out.
1408 is set to shoot in mid-July in the U.K.
John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson topline the pic about a debunker of paranormal occurrences who encounters real terror when he checks into the notorious room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel. Walsh was to play Cusack's ex-wife.
Mikael Hafstrom (Derailed) is helming "1408"; Lorenzo di Bonaventura produces.
King's "1408" short story, originally part of an audiobook, was published in the collection Everything's Eventual.
