Marcia Gay Harden (Welcome to Mooseport) and Toby Jones have joined the cast of of Frank Darabont’s third adaptation of the Stephen King novel “The Mist”

“The Mist” is another story about a deadly fog, that attacks this time in a supermarket, kind of like “Dawn of the Dead” without the mall and the zombies…O.K. who am I kidding I never read the book.

Already cast are Thomas Jane (in the lead role), William Sadler, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher and Amin Joseph.

“The bulk of the story details the plight of a large group of people who become trapped while shopping in the town supermarket, among them an artist named David Drayton (the story’s narrator), Drayton’s young son Billy, and their annoying neighbor Brenton Norton. Along with the horrifying physical threat outside (of which Norton is an early victim), the story also explores the rapid psychological breakdown of the terrified people inside the market. This breakdown allows for the rise to power in the market of a religious zealot named Mrs. Carmody, who eventually convinces a majority faction of the survivors that these events fulfill the biblical prophecy of the end times, and that a human sacrifice must be made to clear away the Mist: Billy is the chosen victim…”
