Syfy’s 12 Monkeys casts Aaron Stanford and Amanda Schull

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Syfy’s television series “12 Monkeys”, which is of course based on the 1995 Terry Gilliam film, has unearthed its two leads: THE HILLS HAVE EYES’ Aaron Stanford and Amanda Schull (“Pretty Little Liars”).

In the show, Standford will play Cole, a desperate and haunted man from the near future who travels to the present day to stop the deadly plague from being released upon the world. Schull (Suits, Pretty Little Liars) will play Cassandra Railly, a brilliant doctor forced to choose between her idyllic life or join Cole’s mission to uncover the dangerous conspiracy.

So yes, that means Aaron Stanford = Bruce Willis.

Natalie Chaidez will be the show runner on “12 Monkeys”, which Gilliam was sure to point out is “a very dumb idea”.
