Little House on the Prairie movie back in development

I think Kathy Bates would make a good Harriet Oleson. 

Tendency is for us all to compare the actors of today to Michael and Karen......Very tough to do,,,,,,
That duo was so perfect that I just don't know if you could duplicate it.....But there are some very talented people in the business today.....

I am encouraged by the fact that Angelina Jolie said that the script was "brilliant". We will see.....I think Rachel McAdams would not be a bad choice for Caroline....

Here is my list for I think who would be great:
Charles: Matthew McConaughey
Caroline: Jennifer Aniston
Mary: Amanda Seyfried
Laura: Dakota Fanning
Carrie: Elle Fanning
Albert: Dakota Brinkman
Grace: Madylin Sweeten
Mr. Edwards: Joe Manganiello

'Martha Marcy May Marlene' filmmaker Sean Durkin is attached to direct.


The Little House on the Prairie movie project has landed at Paramount.

The adaptation of the iconic TV series was previously in development at Sony, which picked it up in 2012 with Scott Rudin attached to produce. The title was put into turnaround last year.

Now, the package — which includes Martha Marcy May Marlene filmmaker Sean Durkin, who is attached to direct, and the script by Abi Morgan — is setting up shop under the Melrose Ave. watertower.

Little House aired on NBC from 1974 to 1983 and starred Michael Landon as the patriarch of a pioneer family living in the 1880s in the American Midwest. The show was known for its wholesome values and was a loose adaptation of the classic series of children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, who based it on her childhood. (Melissa Gilbert played Laura Wilder on the show.)


Ironic! Michael Landon shot many scenes at Paramount (Interior and exterior Winoka) at Paramount!
