Jeffrey Dean Morgan in Big Stone Gap?

Categorized | News

Posted on 21 May 2009. Tags: News

I’m not sure if this is tentative casting news, or just the writer’s wish list, but there’s an item on Google about casting for a movie based on “Big Stone Gap” by Adriana Trigiani.

Big Stone Gap Casting News

I’ve just heard Adriana interviewed on Radio 4′s Loose Ends and she let slip some info about the forthcoming Big Stone Gap movie. First of all, Adriana is directing it herself (she is a seasoned movie director as well as a novelist). Ave Maria Mulligan will be played by Ashley Judd. The sexy Jack Mac will be played by the sexy Jeffrey Dean Morgan. And Whoopi Goldberg is taking on Fleeta.

I’ve never heard of this book. Has anyone read this? If so, what is it about?

Hi Rhymes! I moseyed on over here today. I’ve read the book. It was light and sweet, very much a beach type read, written to curl the toes. It’s actually pretty funny too.

Anyway. It’s about a woman who finds out after her mom passes away that who she thought was her father really wasn’t. So…that, amongst dealing with life and love in Big Stone Gap, VA.

Jack MacChesney is the sexy mild-mannered coal miner who’s the love interest of the protagonist. Most of the book focuses on how big and manly he is and what a nice backside he has, so…I say they cast the right man for the job, yes?

Hey xan! Thanks for coming over!

Yes, that would be excellent casting! But I haven’t read anything else about this, so who knows if it’s just a director’s wish list?

And playing a coal miner?? Not a psychtic, serial killing one I hope:)
