Syfy has just released the first trailer for their upcoming adaptation of Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys. The new series appears to be following the same story that film did rather than some sort of spin-off or continuation of the film. However, this is the first trailer that may only represent the pilot for the series. The show’s executive producer Richard Suckle has stated that they aren’t bringing the show to SDCC this year as it “coincides with when we start shooting. We wanted to put the show first as we’re set to premiere in January.” So if they are just about to start shooting for a January premiere, they probably don’t have much footage to work with.
Have a look. What do you think?
Based on the 1995 film directed by Terry Gilliam, "12 Monkeys" follows the journey of a time traveler from the post-apocalyptic future who is on a mission to eradicate the source of a deadly plague.
