Greg Kinnear is reportedly circling the lead role in the upcoming European remake of War of the Worlds. The remake hails from Fox Networks Group of Europe and Africa. The series is written by Misfits creator Howard Overman. Kinnear is coming off of a role in the sixth and final season of Netflix’s House of Cards. Signing an actor as recognizable as Kinnear would be a big get for the project, which is only Fox Networks Group’s second original commission.
