Alfred Molina Set To Star in Amazon's Police Drama Series THREE PINES
Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) is set to star in a new police drama series for Amazon Studios titled Three Pines, which comes from The Crown producer Left Bank Pictures. The actor will take on the role of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache.
The series is based on Louise Penny’s book series, “Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec is a man who sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. As he investigates a spate of murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic village, he discovers long-buried secrets and faces a few of his own ghosts.”
This seems like an awesome project for Molina to be a part of and a great character for him to play. He will be joined by a supporting cast that includes Rossif Sutherland, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Tantoo Cardinal, Clare Coulter, Sarah Booth, Anna Tierney, Julian Bailey, Frédéric-Antoine Guimond, Pierre Simpson, Tamara Brown, Marie-France Lambert, Frank Schorpion, Marcel Jeannin, Georgina Lynn Lightning, Crystle Lightning, Isabel Deroy-Olson, and Anna Lambe.
The series was written by Emilia di Girolamo, who adapts the novels as lead writer, and Catherine Tregenna will pen two additional episodes. Directors on the series are Sam Donovan, serving as lead director, Tracey Deer, and Daniel Grou.
The eight-part series has begun production in Montreal and rural Quebec.
