A&E's ANDROMEDA Fills Out Cast

(From Variety.com -- By John Dempsey)

RICK SCHRODER, ERIC McCORMACK, ANDRE BRAUGHER and CHRISTA MILLER have joined BENJAMIN BRATT in THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, A&E's four-hour, $15 million miniseries, executive produced by RIDLEY and TONY SCOTT.

The biggest production in A&E's 23-year history, ANDROMEDA is a remake of director ROBERT WISE's 1971 sci-fi thriller about a deadly virus unleashed when a satellite returning from deep space crashes near a Utah town. A group of scientists try to contain the lethal bacteria before it spreads throughout the Southwest.

Based on MICHAEL CRICHTON's novel, A&E's ANDROMEDA which has begun production in Vancouver, is adapted by ROBERT SCHENKKAN and directed by MIKAEL SALOMAN.

Joining the Scotts as executive producers are DAVID ZUCKER and TOM THAYER.

Kraig Bailey, thanks for the post.
