“She woke something up inside of me… I can’t stop thinking about her.” Apple has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a crime thriller series titled Presumed Innocent, streaming starting this June. Another twisted crime thriller. This is about a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys’ office when one of its own is suspected of the crime. The series is based on the acclaimed book of the same name written by Scott Turow. The description: “This story brings to life our worst nightmare: that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of all crimes.” The star-studded ensemble cast in here features Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, along with Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, Kingston Rumi Southwick, as well as Elizabeth Marvel. More from the book: “It’s the stunning portrayal of one man’s all-too-human, all-consuming fatal attraction for a passionate woman who is not his wife, and the story of how his obsession puts everything he loves and values on trial–including his own life.” Hmmm this looks quite similar to Gone Girl at first glance.
