Tarsem has been tapped to direct all 10 episodes of Emerald City, the recently resurrected NBC series that underwent a redevelopment via writer/executive producer David Schulner. Oliver Jackson Cohen, Ana Ularu and Gerran Howell have also joined the cast of the series, described as a modern and dark reimagining of the classic tale of Oz in the vein of Game Of Thrones.
Jackson Cohen (Dracula, The Raven) will play Lucas, described as handsome, mysterious and quick-witted. He is discovered by Dorothy, beaten, bloodied, and moaning on a post outside the ruins of his village. The sole survivor of the what can only be described as a mass crucifixion — he remembers nothing of his past, not even his name. He joins Dorothy on her journey to the Emerald City, and as they survive challenge after challenge, he proves a real friend in need to this brave but bewildered newcomer.
Gerran Howell 2Ularu (Inferno) will play West, a beautiful, sultry force of nature who has entered an unholy alliance with the Wizard. Corrupt and languorously seductive, she is a creature of perverse humor and many unsavory appetites. She lives in a lavishly appointed brothel where she is the madam of sorts. When confronted with the news of the First Sign that foretells the coming of the Beast, she’s clearly deeply affected by the portent’s significance…and what it means for her.
