Roberto Urbina and Katie McGuinness Board the Snowpiercer Express Train
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.
