Jerry O’Connell of Stand by Me/ Crossing Jordan/1990’s fame as a Boston boy who has moved into a haunted, palatial, antebellum mansion in post-Katrina New Orleans and the legendary Faye Dunaway as the in touch with the spirits Grandmother of O’Connell’s love interest, played by Lauren Stamile. It seems that simply by virtue of slapping on the name of a bestselling author, the budget for the Lifetime movie of the week more than doubled AND starred two recognizable–I’m going to go ahead and say it–celebrities as well as a cast that at no point compelled me to print a head shot and audition for the sequel.

Big props to Nora Roberts for landing this MFTVM deal with Lifetime. I finally got around to watching the second installment of the 2009 Nora Roberts collection and I must say, I am quite pleased.
