A 'limited series' (mini-series) based on a movie, based on a movie,
based on a novel ... so three times removed means it likely has almost
nothing in common with the original nocvel, not even the name!


Apple TV Teases New 'Highly Anticipated' Psychological Thriller Series
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apple today released a teaser trailer for Cape Fear, a new "highly
anticipated" psychological thriller series starring Amy Adams, Patrick
Wilson, and Javier Bardem. The first two episodes of the 10-episode
limited series will premiere on Apple TV on Friday, June 5, and one
new episode will follow every Friday through July 31.

In the series, Apple says a storm is coming for happily married
attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when the notorious
killer Max Cady (Bardem) they are responsible for putting behind bars
is let out of prison and wants vengeance.

There is a 70-year history behind this series. The upcoming Apple TV
show was inspired by the 1991 film Cape Fear, directed by Martin
Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg. That film was itself a
remake of the 1962 film of the same name, which was based on the 1957
novel The Executioners by John D. MacDonald.

alongside Antosca.
