One of the few authors whose bestselling books make equally popular movies, Nora Roberts has 4 more novels being turned into Lifetime TV Movies:  HIGH NOON, MIDNIGHT BAYOU, TRIBUTE and NORTHERN LIGHTS.

HIGH NOON will star Emilie de Ravin (LOST), Ivan Sergei (CROSSING JORDAN) and Cybill Shepherd (MOONLIGHTING).  Emilie de Ravin will play Lt. Phoebe McNamara, a hostage negotiator trying to do it all:  have a career, raise a daughter and deal with a mother who suffers from agoraphobia.  As in most ‘women in jep’  movies, one man will be her love interest (Sergei) and another will want her dead.   HIGH NOON was adapted by Terri Kopp and will be directed by Meter Markle.

Jerry O’Connell (CROSSING JORDAN), Lauren Stamile (GREY’S ANATOMY) and Faye Dunaway will headline MIDNIGHT BAYOU. In it, O’Connell brings to life Declan Fitzpatrick, a lawyer who decides to chuck it all for a chance to live in a plantation house near N’Oleans–a possibly haunted plantation house.  With a little help from a Cajun woman and her grandmother, he will uncover some dark secrets.  MIDNIGHT BAYOU’s script was written by Stephen Tolkin with Ralph Hemecker directing.

The other two movies are still in pre-production, so details aren’t set at this time.
