AMY ADAMS TO VISIT 1950'S KONGO IN POISONWOOD BIBLE EPIC MINI TV SERIES! NETFLIX TO TURN ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE INTO EPIC MINI SERIES

You've probably noticed that Amy Adams has been working much more lately on the small screens than on the big screens, and it seems that trend will continue as she has opened a new production company and will do a new series for HBO. It will be a TV series adaptation of Barbara Kingsolver's novel POISONWOOD BIBLE in which she will play Orleanna Price, the wife of an evangelical missionary who takes her and their four daughters to the Belgian Congo in the midst of colonial upheaval in 1959. What follows is a suspenseful epic of tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction in the interlocked fates of one family and a newly independent African nation. Amy recently worked with HBO on Sharp Objects mini series.
