Quinto and Cummings Lead Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 Series
Zachary Quinto (American Horror Story) and Ashleigh Cummings (Hounds of Love) have been cast as the leads in AMC’s upcoming TV series adaptation of Joe Hill’s novel NOS4A2.
Quinto will play Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Manx finds his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England (Cummings) discovers she has a dangerous gift.
Cummings will play Vic McQueen, a young, working-class artist whose creativity awakens a supernatural ability to track Manx (Quinto). What Vic lacks in social confidence, she makes up for in courage, humor, and tough-as-nails grit. She strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.
