Hulu will debut “11.22.63,” based on the time-travel novel by Stephen King about the JFK assassination, on Presidents Day, Feb. 15, 2016. J.J. Abrams, Stephen King, Bridget Carpenter and Bryan Burk serve as executive producers for “11.22.63.” The nine-hour limited event series stars James Franco as a high-school history teacher who travels back in time to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. “11.22.63” also stars Chris Cooper, Josh Duhamel, T.R. Knight, Cherry Jones, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, George MacKay and Daniel Webber. Scottish director Kevin Macdonald (“Last King of Scotland,” “State of Play”) directs and executive produces the first two hours. Hulu will release episodes of “11.22.63” on a weekly basis, as it has done for its other original series. That’s in contrast to Netflix’s binge-friendly strategy of releasing the entire season of a show at once.

I'm just over halfway through the book, hopefully I'll be done by the time the series starts

For those who have read the book is James Franco a good casting choice?

Listening to this now on audio book. Engaging, good story. Looking forward to this as well.

I guess Ive got Star Trek on my mind, but it sounds like one of Gene Rodennberry's ideas for a movie.
quote:
What was his grand idea? It involved time-travel, Klingons, and a beloved American president: JFK. After losing ships to V'GR,Klingons locate the "Guardian of Forever" (seen in "The City on the Edge of Forever"), and they diabolically use the time portal to travel back to 1963. These rogue Klingons succeed in stopping the assassination of JFK. Perhaps they kidnap Lee Harvey Oswald, or maybe they abduct the president and feed him Gagh! Somehow... they keep JFK alive. Only the insiders who've read the unpublished script know the full details. But, apparently, this change in the timeline is extremely detrimental for the future of humanity, and by the 23rd century, the Klingons reign supreme as an unstoppable intergalactic imperial force.
Fortunately, Captain Kirk once again saves the universe... by letting someone die. Travelling back in time, the noble captain ensures that JFK gets his head blown off in Dealey Plaza. "The climactic moments of the film," according to William Shatner, "would find Spock standing on a grassy knoll in Dallas, firing that infamous `phantom shot'... thereby guaranteeing a brighter future for all of mankind."
Prior to this cinematic climax, viewers are treated to Captain Kirk and JFK fighting, arguing, and then becoming close friends as the handsome and young commander-in-chief tours the spaceship Enterprise.

If you haven't, you can always just reset things and try again.

Seems fine to me. I read the whole thing and didn't even have a clear picture in mind of what the protagonist might look like. I could see it also being Peter Krause or the guy who plays Quinn on Homeland.

It's been a while since I read it, but wasn't he an English teacher?
I think I'm the only one I know that read it and didn't really like it. Interesting story, and King is a good storyteller, but I hated all the characters.

I've always pictured somebody much more nerdy and geeky.
Posted on 12/14/15 at 5:26 pm to Big Scrub TX
For some reason I pictured more of a Matthew Modine type.

Yeah, I think that would work. I really don't think it matters all that much.
