TNT’s “Snowpiercer” has just sold two more tickets and locked down Roberto Urbina and Katie McGuinness, according to TNT. The duo will play Avi and Josie, respectively. The former will play a member of the train’s “Breach Team”, which is what they call firemen. The latter is the wife to an ailing man and the mother to a “precocious” child who will do whatever it takes for her family when things go south.
The “Snowpiercer” pilot, a futuristic thriller based on the acclaimed 2013 feature by Bong Joon-ho, is directed by Doctor Strange helmer Scott Derrickson. It’s set seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, and the remnants of humanity inhabit a gigantic, perpetually moving train that circles the globe. It explores class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival.
“Snowpiercer,” a co-production among Marty Adelstein/ITV Studios’ Tomorrow Studios, Turner’s Studio T, and CJ Entertainment, is exec produced by writer/showrunner Josh Friedman; director Derrickson; Tomorrow Studios’ Adelstein and Becky Clements; and the original film’s Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, Lee Tae-hun, and Dooho Choi.
