Actress Demi Moore (Ghost, A Few Good Men) is currently in talks to join Season 2 of FX’s anthology series Feud, which is titled Feud: Capote’s Women. The series was created by Ryan Murphy, who also created American Horror Story, 9-1-1, Nip/Tuck, Glee and Pose, among others.
If the deal goes through, Moore would join Tom Hollander, who stars as Capote; Calista Flockhart, Diane Lane, Naomi Watts, and Chloë Sevigny in the cast.
“An adaptation of Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era, the miniseries is set in the 1970s and ends with Truman Capote’s death in 1984. It chronicles the tale of the famous wunderkind author as he stabs several of his female friends — whom he called his ‘swans’ — in the back by publishing a roman à clef short story called ‘La Côte Basque 1965’ in Esquire in 1975. The piece was intended to be a chapter in Capote’s infamous unfinished novel Answered Prayers, his follow-up to the blockbuster In Cold Blood.”
Two-time Oscar nominee Gus Van Sant is set to direct all eight episodes, with Tony- and Pulitzer-nominated Jon Robin Baitz writing all episodes and serving as showrunner. I hope Moore joins the cast. I think she’s a great actress, and I look forward to this interesting story.
