Legend’s Emily Browning to star in Starz’s American Gods
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the central trio of Starz’s American Gods has been completed, as Emily Browning (Legend, Sucker Punch) has just signed on to play Laura Moon on Bryan Fuller and Michael Green’s adaptation of the Neil Gaiman novel. The American Gods author admits that Browning has her work cut out for her as Laura, a woman caught between this world and the next: “Laura is a tricky character, and the Laura on the screen is even trickier and more dangerous than the one on the page.” But Gaiman says he’s been “fascinated” by the actress since her appearance in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, so he probably has good feeling about her casting.
