11/22/63 series on Hulu

[zelig]

I don't really have a problem with Franco playing the role. I just hope the whole production does justice to the book, which to me was absolutely phenomenal. For some reason I always get nervous when I hear about a mini-series adaptation of a King novel. Still, it's exciting.

[herbertwest]

I like Franco a lot and the book was amazing, so this should be good. Too bad it's on Hulu, because it's terrible. I had a free three-month trial and I canceled it after two days. What crappy service. Even with a paid subscription you still get ads and their player and interface isn't as robust as Netflix's.

You'll get it anywhere you want

I like the idea of a miniseries much better than a theatrical release, as the story is just too big to condense down into a single film. I just hope they do it right and it doesn't turn into Under the Dome.

[RichardHawes]

I like Franco and also like the fact that it seems like something he will take seriously. One of the earlier posts back in October where he touched upon his desire to have the rights to the story gives me some hope

The cast is shaping up nicely.

The cast is shaping up nicely.

Agreed. This could be VERY good.

[zelig]

I've always thought Chris Cooper was an amazing actor, probably since I saw him in American Beauty. I haven't heard of some of the other actors, other than Cherry Jones, from 24. It does look to be shaping up nicely with the cast. I'm really looking forward to this one.

You'd recognize Leon Rippy if you saw his picture -- he was Ollie Dinsmore in Under the Dome and Tom Nuttall in Deadwood.

[zelig]

Oh yes, I recognize him.

He was also in "The Patriot", no?

[Bev Vincent]

Yes. and was in Maximum Overdrive, too. Also had a bit part in Firestarter.

[Heather19]

Getting very excited for this one. Is it still set to air this year? Maybe around Nov perhaps? Also is it a definite miniseries (or 1 season)? I hope there's not a chance that it could be picked up for another season and becomes like Under the Dome.

[Bev Vincent]

9 1-hour episodes -- it will probably launch in Feb '16. There were indications that it could possibly get picked up if it does well, but that remains to be seen.

T.R. Knight is heading to the ’60s to square off with James Franco: the former “Grey’s Anatomy” star has joined the cast of the Hulu Original event series “11/22/63.”

Knight will play Johnny Clayton, a salesman in 1960s Texas who can’t quite break up with his estranged wife Sadie Dunhill (Sarah Gadon), even as she falls in love with Jake Epping

Late in the evening on June 7th, 2015, the busy main drag of Hespeler, in Cambridge Ontario, was ready for James Franco’s arrival to film the long awaited Stephen King television mini-series 11/22/63. This mini-series is about a school teacher who time travels to 1963, on an insane mission to prevent the Kennedy Assassination, commenced bright and early on June 8th.

The day began with high humidity and a torrential rain. Most of the onlookers assumed a production delay. However, that was not the case when Franco showed up for hair and makeup. Check out some pictures of what Life’s a Blog captured. Hoping to get out a few more times during the week in Hespeler and Ayr.

I reallllllllllllllly hope this is done well.

[Bev Vincent]

Did you notice the name of the laundromat!

[herbertwest]

Blue Ribbon... You have very good eyes for noticing it !

I'm hopeful about this as well, and might try to visit set if I can, if they get a filming day or two in Dallas. I imagine that they'll have to do a COUPLE of shots here at least. Should I find a 1st/1st of 11/22/63 to have any of the actors/directors I come across sign, or is that just defacing a 1st printing? LOL.

You should do it! I don't think you can deface a 1/1 of 11/22/63 with as many copies there are out there.

Do it brother.... that be cool!

[TCCBodhi]

Yes, I might try, assuming that they come here at all. If anyone hears anything about production in Dallas, give me a heads up! That'd be a great Haven Fund item.

[Bev Vincent]

They did say they would be filming in Dallas at some point.

[WeDealInLead]

This is an hour away from where I live. There would probably be 99.9999999% of not seeing anything but I'd still make the drive if I weren't working.

What are those black frames around the camera for? I thought they were light screens at first...
