Two New Teasers For AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON
I'm not a fan of Ryan Murphy's TV shows, but he certainly knows how to produce content that gets people talking. American Horror Story: Hotel is airing on FX right now, but he has a new series lined up that's hitting the network this February. American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is Murphy's take on the famous murder trial, and if you were alive and paying attention to what was going on back in 1995, you undoubtedly have you own feelings about whether or not Simpson killed his wife (Nicole Brown Simpson) and a man named Ronald Goldman.
The network has just released two new teaser trailers for the upcoming show, and from John Travolta's creepy delivery, it seems as if this show is going to have a tinge of over-the-top campiness to it even though it's dealing with a very real, well-publicized case. Take a look below:
American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti.
Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.
