Stephen King’s ‘11/22/63’ Releases New Teaser [Watch]
A new teaser trailer has been released for the TV adaptation of Stephen King's best selling novel, "11/22/63."
According to Collider, this epic eight-episode event on Hulu will have all the hallmarks of a great King novel, which he is most well known for writing in the horror genre. It is also produced by J.J. Abrams.
This book and TV series can actually be considered transcendent of the genres given it has so many different plots and events going on that build nail-biting suspense, which combines with science fiction and thriller.
The titular event is the day that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas by gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. Although there have been many conspiracy theories about his death, King wrote the novel based on the only known evidence that Oswald was indeed the shooter.
The plot of the series is about a man a who runs a hamburger joint. But in his restaurant, the burgers are cheap for a reason. He travels back in time through a portal in his back room and buys his meat in 1958. But how does he get away with it without changing the past? Well, in this portal, every time you come back, it is a reset and the events of the past are unchanged.
But that also means that he has to go back and wait five long years in order to do what he really wants, which is to prevent the assassination of JFK. Unfortunately, he gets cancer when he goes back and cannot wait out the years, so he enlists his friend Jake Epping (James Franco) to carry out the task.
Although skeptical at first, Epping does indeed take on the mission. Most of the story takes place over the five years before the JFK assassination, which includes him falling in love and intervening in the events of history that could cause him to cancel himself out of existence.
The plotline for the teaser is "The Past Hates Trespassers," which shows Jake in many perilous situations that the enigmatic "timeline" is using to try and stop him from changing it.
