Joseph Morgan cast in Gone Baby Gone

Joseph Morgan (“The Originals”) has been cast in the TV series adaptation of Denis Lehane’s “Gone Baby Gone”.

Per Variety, Morgan plays detective Patrick Kenzie in the Fox pilot- the role Casey Affleck played in the 2007 film version.

The series centers on a pair of private detectives, Patrick Kenzie (Morgan) and Angela Gennaro, who are “armed with their wits, their street knowledge and an undeniable chemistry” as they work to right the wrongs the law can’t in the working-class Boston borough of Dorchester.

Robert Levine and Lehane are both set to executive produce the pilot, which will be a co-production between 20th Century Fox Television and Miramax.

FOX’s Wayward Pines won’t be returning for a third season.

Joaquin Phoenix has no idea about anything, including the Joker
