‘11/22/63’ Stephen King Mini-Series Releases Trailer [Watch]
A new adaptation of the super-sized Stephen King novel "11/22/63," has come to television with a nine-episode series event.
The show has just released the first trailer for this thrilling time-travel drama and fans of King will be delighted.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the show will be a strong adaptation of the King novel with a few minor changes.
It stars James Franco in the lead role as Jake Epping, a high school English teacher whose life gets upended when his friend introduces him to a new time portal that will transport him back to 1960, which is about three years before the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
In the story, Epping travels to this year and waits out the difference to in some way attempt to stop the assassination from ever happening. But along the way, Epping must pass his time somehow so he gets involved in the community.
In the community, he finds a woman who he falls head-over-heels in love with and that starts to rock the boat some. The fact that he is even in the past and about to change the future puts his own existence in jeopardy. But if he were to pursue a life with this woman, he could lessen the chance that he could cancel himself out of existence.
But the story has a failsafe for that event, which could in some way put things back to normal as they happened naturally. As you may have guessed though, that failsafe comes at an enormous cost.
He will eventually meet up with and stalk the future killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the story takes on many different levels of dramatic action, since Epping knows a few things that other characters in the story do not.
The series is set to premiere on Internet streaming network Hulu on Feb. 15, 2016. Fans can watch the teaser-trailer below.
