Great Trailer for Bill Paxton’s TRAINING DAY TV Series

View fullsize

As a fan of the movie Training Day, I was kind of excited to see how this TV series set up at CBS would turn out. Bill Paxton is headlining the series with Justin Cornwell, and today we have the first trailer. I was actually really surprised to see how great the series looks. You never know with these series adaptations of feature films.

The series is set fifteen years after the events of the movie, and it centers on an “idealistic young African-American police officer named Kyle, who is given an assignment by the Deputy Chief to go undercover with an elite squad of the LAPD and take down a morally ambiguous Caucasian detective named Detective Frank Rourke, gaining the trust of the seasoned cop by becoming his new partner."

The pilot for the series was directed by Antoine Fuqua from a script written by Will Beall (Gangster Squad). Fuqua is the director of the 2001 film. The series may have different characters and a different storyline, but as you’ll see, Fuqua brought the same badassery that we enjoyed about the first film. On top of that, Paxton rings his A-game, and he’s going to be awesome in this series.
