Keck's Exclusives: Frances Fisher Has Designs on "Castle"
Dec 9, 2013
by William Keck


"Castle" has cast Titanic star Frances Fisher in a Devil Wears Prada-themed episode that will revisit Kate Beckett's (Stana Katic) past as a model.

"The episode has a little Devil Wears Prada feel to it with an Anna Wintour type character," reveals executive producer Andrew Marlowe, referencing the notorious Vogue editor-in-chief who inspired Meryl Streep's icy Miranda Priestly film character.

"In investigating the case, we discover that the Anna Wintour character, Matilda King, who runs this magazine, Modern Fashion, crossed paths with Beckett when she briefly flirted with a career as a model."



Marlowe says he cast Fisher in the role because "she brings a regality to everything she does."

The episode is slated to air on Jan. 27.

Keck's Exclusives First Look: Here Comes the "Castle" Bride

When bride-to-be Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) revisits her past as a model on the Jan. 27 episode of ABC's "Castle", she crosses paths with Modern Fashion magazine editor Matilda King (Frances Fisher) and tries on a couture wedding gown plucked from a runway show.

The dress, the work of "Castle" costume designer Luke Reichle, was constructed from reembroidered French silver bullion lace with a skirt of silk taffeta and organza. (Want to copy Kate's look? Expect to spend north of $30,000, says Reichle.)



While Beckett and Castle (Nathan Fillion) have yet to set a date for their nuptials, Katic has an idea of how it should go down. "There's got to be some espionage stunt that screws up the wedding and leads them to city hall to just get it over with," she says.

"They are constantly living on the edge, and their wedding day should be no different."
