I wasn't too happy when I heard Syfy was developing a new television series based on Terry Gilliam's 12 MONKEYS, however I have to admit it actually looks pretty solid. The first trailer for 12 Monkeys has been released, giving us a good look at the upcoming series. While there are a couple of things from the movie featured in the trailer, according to co-executive producer Terry Matalas the series will be a "complete reimagining."
Like the film, the series will follow time traveler Cole (Aaron Stanford) as he tries to prevent a deadly plague from wiping out most of the human race. 12 Monkeys also stars Amanda Schull (J. EDGAR, Pretty Little Liars), Kirk Acevedo (DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, INVINCIBLE) and Zeljko Ivanek (ARGO, IN BRUGES).
You ready to make history, or unmake it?
12 Monkeys will begin airing on Syfy in January 2015.
