Mrs. Carmody and Ollie have been cast in Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love King's short stories, but my favorite of them all has always been THE MIST. There's just something perfect about the scenario of trapping a bunch of people in a grocery store as the world goes to shit outside. And when that shit happens to contain giant tentacle monsters, that just takes THE MIST up to that next level. I can't wait to see Darabont finally get going on this, which just started shooting.

He's cast Mrs. Carmody, one of the best evil cunts ever conceived and Ollie the super-market owner. We have Marcia Gay Harden as Mrs. Carmody and Toby Jones as Ollie. Jones recently made a bit of a splash playing Truman Capote in that other Capote movie, INFAMOUS. Harden is a bit younger than I pictured Carmody, but I can see her turn on the crazy bitch and work it well. What do you folks think?
