Big fan of the movie and the short which the movie was based on called La Jetée. This show boasts such a great cast and I can't wait for this!
i loved loved loved the original 12 monkeys. that slow mo scene with Bruce and Madeleine and What a Wonderful World played in the background was really memorable and intense.
that being said, i dunno how i feel about this tv show. sigh
