NBC'S 'THE SLAP' MINI SERIES
THANDIE NEWTON, MELISSA GEORGE JOIN ZACHARY QUINTO
In other TV news, I've mentioned recently that NBC is preparing 8 episode series THE SLAP with Zachary Quinto, Brian Cox and Peter Sarsgaard in the lead roles, and now they are joined by two ladies - Thandie Newton and Melissa George! The adaptation of Australian mini series brings a complex family drama that explodes from one small incident where a man slaps another couple’s misbehaving child. This seemingly minor domestic dispute pulls the family apart, begins to expose long-held secrets and ignites a lawsuit! Thandie Newton will play Aisha, a doctor, wife of Hector (Peter Sarsgaard) and mother of their two children. She readies herself for the onslaught as she makes preparations for her husband’s birthday party, irritated but somewhat amused when her in-laws show up. Melissa George is Rosie, a hippie wife and meddlesome mother of Hugo, the 5-year-old boy who is slapped (by Quinto) after waving a bat in another boy’s face. Convinced that Hugo has been unalterably traumatized, she sets in motion a confrontation that embroils and affects everyone who witnessed it.
