I’m not sure what’s more surprising—the fact that Syfy made a TV series based on Terry Gilliam’s 1995 classic 12 MONKEYS or that it actually looks good. It continues to look like an impressive reimagining as we approach its Friday, January 16, 2015 premiere date. To get you further caught up with Syfy’s new world of “12 Monkeys”, we have an all new promo that gives us a quick look at what the first season has in store. Dig it below!
Here’s all you need to know about this one:
Inspired by the classic blockbuster film, which commemorates its 20th anniversary next year, “12 Monkeys” explores the provocative story of a time traveler from a decimated future in a high-stakes race against the clock. Utilizing a dangerous and untested method of time travel, he journeys from 2043 to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will all but annihilate the human race.
"12 Monkeys" stars Aaron Stanford (as time-traveler Cole), Amanda Schull (Dr. Cassandra Railly), Kirk Acevedo (Ramse), Barbara Sukowa (Jones), and Noah Bean (Aaron Marker). Additional key recurring roles include Tom Noonan “(Damages,” “Hell on Wheels”) as a mysterious villain and Emily Hampshire (“Rookie Blue”) as mental patient Jennifer Goines.
