Kate Winslet to Do "Mildred Pierce'

Kate, the great, Winslet, who's been taking her time announcing her post Oscar win vehicle, is now attached to a miniseries version of "Mildred Pierce," based on the James M. Cain novel of a long-suffering mother previously portrayed on screen with Joan Crawford.

Todd Haynes ("I'm Not There" ) will write and direct. The project doesn't yet have a home, but Variety reports that HBO seems a likely candidate.
