Apple TV have released the first official trailer for their upcoming and hugely anticipated new drama/thriller series Cape Fear, based on the classic book and films, and you can watch it below!
Cape Fear is the new psychological horror thriller showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca, and executive produced by Academy Award winners Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, with the show also inspired by the 1991 remake by Scorsese and produced by Spielberg.
The new version stars Academy Award winner Javier Bardem as Max Cady, Academy Award nominee Amy Adams as Anna Bowden and Golden Globe and Tony nominee Patrick Wilson as Tom Bowden, who take on the roles made famous by Robert De Niro, Jessica Lange and Nick Nolte in Scorsese’s version, although the Bowdens’ first names are changed here.
It was a huge hit and earned De Niro and Juliette Lewis Oscar Nominations.
Originally released in 1957 by author John D. Macdonald as The Executioners, the book was first made in 1962 by director J. Lee Thompson and writer James R. Webb and starred Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck and Polly Bergen in the lead roles.
Synopsis:
A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson) when Max Cady (Javier Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance. Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Patrick Wilson, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, and Malia Pyles round out the ensemble cast, and the supporting cast includes CCH Pounder, Jamie Hector and Anna Baryshnikov.
Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, “Cape Fear” is based on both the novel “The Executioners,” which inspired Gregory Peck’s Universal Pictures feature (1962) of the same name, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese. The series is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Creator Nick Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat, and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey produce alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television. Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. The series is developed and produced through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP, where he’s been based since 2017.
Cape Fear streams on Apple TV on June 5th.
