"Closer" and "Children of Men" star Clive Owen has signed on to star in Apple's upcoming limited series "Lisey's Story" based on Stephen King's best-selling 2006 novel. The straight-to-series order was handed out in April.
The story follows Lisey (Julianne Moore) two years following the death of her husband. A series of events causes her to begin facing amazing realities about her husband that she had repressed and forgotten. Owen will star as Lisey's husband, Scott Landon.
The eight-episode series will be executive produced by King, Moore and J.J. Abrams. King will also write every episode. This is Abrams' third project for Apple following straight-to-series orders for "Little Voice" with Sara Bareilles, and "My Glory Was I Had Such Friends", which stars Jennifer Garner.
Owen can also be seen in the sci-fi thriller "Gemini Man" opposite Will Smith. The film opened in theaters this weekend. The actor is a Golden Globe winner for his performance in Mike Nichols' "Closer", and was also nonimated for his roles in Cinemax's "The Knick", and the HBO biopic "Hemingway & Gellhorn".
