LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Brian Dennehy, Dianne Wiest, Randy Quaid, Nancy McKeon and Thomas Gibson will star in a disaster-themed miniseries that CBS is quietly putting together for next season.

Emmy-nominated Dennehy most recently worked with CBS on the 2003 TV movie "The Crooked E: The Unshredded Truth About Enron." He is onscreen in Spike Lee's feature "She Hate Me," which opened Wednesday.

Oscar and Emmy winner Wiest most recently toplined the CBS/Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie "The Blackwater Lightship."

Quaid, who starred on CBS' short-lived drama "The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H." last season, was most recently seen in the Sci Fi Channel miniseries "5ive Days to Midnight."

McKeon stars on Lifetime's series "The Division."

Former "Dharma & Greg" star Gibson most recently starred in the CBS TV movie "Raising Waylon." He will next be seen in the feature "Come Away Home."

Holy Dog $h^t. Nancy McKeon in a disaster flic? I hope it don't take place in California. Earthquake in New York got old real quick. Now a miniseries about an earthquake in Texas, especially around San Antonio and Austin would be really cool. I know Randy and Dennis Quaid are both from Texas, and to have Nancy McKeon in this miniseries will be really cool. I'll pay to see an earthquake disaster movie in which San Antonio and Austin get destroyed by a major 8.0 earthquake. Really cool. I'd say let the ground open and crumble the Hemisphere Tower and the Alamo in a major earth tremblor, and the rebuilding progress. I love fiction stories.

If McKeon is in this miniseries, that mean that The Division season 5 will definitely be put on hold. They did it with The Sopranos when James Gandolfini was starring in a few movies. They'll definitely put The Division season 5 on hold. Not cancelled, just on hold. Think about it!

2 hyped bros. · 08-03-2004, 10:39 PM

Lets see, Nancy McKeon in a miniseries, Bonnie Bedelia set to possibly star in Die Hard 4, Die Harder, Amy Jo Johnson set to possibly go on tour with her new band. What do you think?

Snowfall · 08-03-2004, 11:06 PM

Um.....ok....well, just because Nancy is doing a miniseries, that doesn't mean TD will be put on hold (provided that TD is coming back). They do get like a 3 or 4 month hiatus, and that's definately enough time for filming a miniseries. Lots of actors do other things during their series' breaks.

The only problem with that story is that we don't get earthquakes in Texas. We have tornados, which is enough for me.

I didn't say in real life, I said fictionally. They did Earthquake in New York City. Guess what, the Big Apple don't even have earthquakes at all. Hahahahaha! But they still did a fictional movie based in a what if, as in what if NYC had a major earthquake. It's the same with Texas, if Texas is the storyline. It's a big ole what if.
