Patrick Wilson Joins Javier Bardem and Amy Adams in Apple's Limited Series Take on CAPE FEAR
Patrick Wilson (Watchmen, The Conjuring franchise, Aquaman) has joined Amy Adams and Javier Bardem in the upcoming Apple TV+ series adaptations of Cape Fear, from writer and producer Nick Antosca (The Act, Candy, A Friend of the Family), and producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.
Cape Fear is based on John D. MacDonald’s novel The Executioners — which inspired the 1962 feature of the same name directed by J. Lee Thompson from storyboards devised by original director Alfred Hitchcock — and the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese.
The 10-episode series is described as a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century. In Cape Fear, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda (Adams) and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.
The series is currently in development, and is expected to be released later this year.
