&E Network presents Stephen Kings Bag of Bones, a four-hour epic miniseries based on The New York Times #1 bestselling novel, and featuring Pierce Brosnans return to television. The two-night event from Sony Pictures Television premieres on Sunday, December 11 and concludes on Monday, December 12, airing at 9PM ET/PT on both nights.
Bag of Bones is a ghost story of grief and lost loves enduring bonds, about an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire and a new love haunted by past secrets.

Suffering from writers block, a dream inspires him to return to the couples lakeside retreat in western Maine. While there, Mike befriends an attractive young widow, Mattie (George) and her daughter Kyra (Carmichael), and becomes involved in a custody battle with the childs enormously wealthy grandfather, Max (Schallert). Though his ability to write suddenly returns, Mike is plagued by ever-escalating nightmares and mysterious ghostly visitations from Sara Tidwell (Rose), a blues singer whose spirit lingers in the house. As he is haunted by the many secrets at the lake, Mike comes to realize that his late wife still has something to tell him.

This years event will take place on September 10th at Villa di Sogni, a private coastal home in Laguna Beach. To participate in Oceanas SeaChange Summer Party visit seachangesummerparty.org.
The Irish actor said it was not until he lost the part, later taken on and toughened up by Daniel Craig, that he felt he was able to act properly again.
And despite making no secret of the fact hed like to play Bond again after 2002s Die Another Day, Pierce says he felt restricted by the role that catapulted him to the top of Hollywoods A-list.
I felt very shackled by Bond and didnt want to rock the boat, he says.
You get tangled up in your own ego of how youre perceived. You can lose your way.
Pierce, 57, says it took several years to find his feet again after Bond and credits the 2005 comedy drama The Matador with finally helping him to let go of his desire to play the leading man after he was replaced as 007.
It was good to actually act, he remembers.
I have said to my agents, I want to work. I want to play character roles.
You can be a leading man for so long and its wonderful but there comes a time when you have to deal with life and move over on the stage.
The Matador was a great confidence booster. I really felt like I got a transformation there of some sort.
Perhaps it is a good job Pierce is over his desire to portray dashing heroes his recent outing in Roman Polanski-directed The Ghost saw him play Adam Lang, a British prime minister accused of war crimes, whose story features many uncanny parallels to the premiership of Tony Blair
