In his first major TV gig Jamie Bell (The Adventures Of Tintin) is set to star in AMC‘s period drama pilot Turn, written by Craig Silverstein and directed by Rupert Wyatt. Based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies, Turn is set in the summer of 1778 and tells the story of New York farmer Abe Woodhull (Bell), who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America’s fight for independence.

Ooo I like the sound of this and Jamie is a fine actor.
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome and I'm happy for Bell!
ReplyDeleteHe's impressed me in a few films (Billy Eliot, Defiance) and it will be nice to see him in some real story driven drama work and not some of the lighter stuff he has done.
