That was quick.
Aussie Aden Young (Rectify) has departed USA Network’s drama pilot Damnation only a week after he was announced as the lead, and just days before filming was to begin.
According to media speculation, it was due to creative differences.
Damnation is described as an epic saga of the secret history of the 1930s American heartland, chronicling the mythic conflict and bloody struggle between big money and the downtrodden, God and greed, charlatans and prophets. Young was to play a man masquerading as a small town Iowa preacher in the hopes of starting a full-blown insurrection against the status quo.
The plan is now for production on the pilot to start on Monday as scheduled, with recasting currently underway.
