Anybody got any inside information on the Roots remake??
I'm not trying to find out whether or not people will be watching...that's none of my concern, but I would like to know who will be in it, the release date...things like that, and the history channel seems to be pretty tight lipped with the details.
Thank you!
Here's to those who wish me well...
On February 11, 2016 a trailer for the remake of Roots was released and Paul Buccieri, president of A&E and The History Channels, announced that the four night, 8-hour event series will premiere on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016. The ensemble cast includes Forest Whitaker as Fiddler, Anna Paquin as Nancy Holt, Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Tom Lea, Anika Noni Rose as Kizzy, Tip “T.I.” Harris as Cyrus, Emayatzy Corinealdi as Belle, Matthew Goode as Dr. William Waller, Mekhi Phifer as Jerusalem, James Purefoy as John Waller, introduces Regé-Jean Page as Chicken George and Malachi Kirby as Kunta Kinte, and Laurence Fishburne as Alex Haley.
Thank you!
