We are thrilled that David Mackenzie has come aboard as a director and to have Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones star in Under the Banner of Heaven.”
Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) and Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) have signed on for the leading roles in the miniseries, which hails from Oscar-winning filmmaker Dustin Lance Black (Milk).
FX has given a straight-to-series order to the upcoming limited series adaptation of Under the Banner of Heaven, based on Jon Krakauer’s New York Times bestselling crime drama novel (via THR).
This marks Garfield’s first major TV project in 12 years since appearing in Channel 4’s three-part adaptation of Red Riding.
