Rosemary’s Baby

ZOE SALDANA IS A MODERN MOM IN “ROSEMARY’S BABY” REMAKE

The original 1968 film of “Rosemary’s Baby” is probably the only reason to admire director Roman Polanski. Mia Farrow brilliantly played her character as such an ordinary New Yorker, that the story was even more horrifying. The movie is still almost perfect, but someone always thinks a remake is a good idea. The NEW miniseries of Rosemary’s Baby stars Zoe Saldana and will show on NBC in two parts on May 11 and 15, with each segment two hours long. So it’s a bit longer than the original. Does the trailer make you want to tune in?

KATIE HOLMES FEELS LIKE SHE’S RELIVING “ROSEMARY’S BABY”

Back in 2006 we wrote about the similarities in Katie Holmes’ life and the movie “Rosemary’s Baby. At the time we weren’t taken particularly seriously, but US magazine just brought up the comparison again. For those who don’t remember the exact plot of Rosemary’s Baby, here’s a movie synopsis from Yahoo :

“A young married couple, trying unsuccessfully to conceive, finally have it happen when the husband strikes a deal with the devil worshippers next door. All of this is unbeknownst to the poor wife/mother who soon realizes she could be having Satan’s child.”

In the movie, Rosemary’s husband is lured into the cult to help his career – he was a struggling ACTOR. The newlywed couple lived in New York and was surrounded by helpful cult members while she was pregnant. When she became pregnant the cult was convinced it was the rebirth of their leader – satan. When Katie was pregnant, there was Scientology speculation that L Ron Hubbard‘s soul would return in her child because her husband is so high ranking in the cult.
It is gratifying to know we were on the right track with this even if it’s somewhat tongue in cheek. There ARE similarities, to be sure. We wonder if Katie has seen this very special movie.
