‘Cape Fear’ Trailer Has Javier Bardem Terrorizing Amy Adams & Patrick Wilson!! Check It Out!!

Fear stalks Amy Adams in the first full trailer for AppleTV‘s Cape Fear. Adams, Patrick Wilson, and Javier Bardem respectively star as a happy married couple and the madman who threatens to tear them apart in the new miniseries, which is the latest adaptation of the classic thriller. The series will premiere on Apple TV this summer.

Max Cady (Bardem) spent 17 years in jail for a murder he didn’t commit. Now, he has his freedom, and he’s going to spend it doing what he’s dreamed of for almost two decades; terrorizing his lawyer, Anna Bowden (Adams), who he blames for his incarceration. Other targets of his vengeance include her husband, fellow attorney Tom Bowden (Wilson), and their children, Natalie (Lily Collias, Roofman), and Zack (Joe Anders, Bonus Track). In a twist, however, it seems that Cady might have a point; Anna did do something involving Cady’s case that she fears him discovering. It’s too late for apologies, as Cady is set to embark on a hideous campaign of revenge that will leave nobody unscathed. The series will premiere on AppleTV on June 5 with two all-new episodes; new episodes will then premiere weekly until the season finale premieres on July 31.

Who Are the Creatives Behind ‘Cape Fear’?

Cape Fear is created and showrun by Nick Antosca (Brand New Cherry Flavor). Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) will executive produce and direct the pilot. It is executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. In addition to Adams, Wilson, and Bardem, the series also stars CCH Pounder (Avatar), Anna Baryshnikov (Dickinson), Jamie Hector (Bosch), Malia Pyles (Pretty Little Liars), Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy), Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs), Jason Scott Morgan (Hellfire), Margarita Levieva (Daredevil: Born Again), and Patrick Fischler (Mulholland Drive).

Cape Fear is based on the 1957 John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. It was previously filmed as Cape Fear in 1962, with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, and in 1991, with Nick Nolte and Robert De Niro. Scorsese directed the first one after performing a momentous swap with Spielberg; Spielberg gave Scorsese the rights to Cape Fear in exchange for the rights to Schindler’s List. The swap proved fortuitous to both helmers; Schindler’s List won Spielberg his first Best Director Oscar, and Cape Fear was Scorsese‘s biggest commercial hit to date.
