Ben Daniels Set To Star In The New
Starz Original Drama Flesh And Bone
Ben Daniels to Star in Flesh and Bone
|
Following the announcement of its latest Original Drama Flesh and Bone, Starz has secured Tony®-nominated Ben Daniels to star as the volatile and brilliant artistic director Paul Grayson in the new drama series Flesh and Bone. Gene George, EVP of Worldwide Distribution for Starz and his team are presenting Flesh and Bone at MIPTV to internationbal buyers.
Created by Emmy® award-winning Breaking Bad writer and Executive Producer, Moira Walley-Beckett, Flesh and Bone follows a young ballet dancer with a distinctly troubled past as she joins a prestigious ballet company in New York. The dark and gritty series will unflinchingly explore the dysfunction and glamour of the ballet world.
Acclaimed dancer Sarah Hay (Black Swan) has been cast in the lead role, joining an already stellar cast of world-renowned dancers, including former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Irina Dvorovenko and current soloist Sascha Radetsky, along with Ballet Arizona company dancer Raychel Diane Weiner and Emily Tyra. Royal New Zealand Ballet artistic director and celebrated former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Ethan Stiefel will be the series choreographer. Acclaimed director David Michôd will direct the first episode.
Ms. Walley-Beckett will serve as Executive Producer along with Lawrence Bender, Kevin Brown, and John Melfi. Bender, Brown and Walley-Beckett have connections to the world of ballet, which brought them together with Starz on this project. Bender and Walley-Beckett are former ballet dancers, and Brown's family family is made up entirely of former ballet dancers, and their story was the basis for the Oscar-nominated film, The Turning Point.
Production is scheduled to begin in New York City in spring 2014. Flesh and Bone will debut on STARZ in 2015.
Starz will retain all domestic and international multiplatform rights including television, home entertainment, and digital.
