Apple have reportedly finished filming their take on Cape Fear.
Available overseas on June 5th (Not sure if NZ will get it at the same time), the series will include 10 episodes.
The official synopsis for director Nick Antosca's Cape Fear reads: "Inspired by the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg, a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson) when Max Cady (Javier Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance."
Will the new Cape Fear stick to the original formula or break ranks with some new twists and turns? Will there be an extended sequence in which this Max Cady steps on a load of rakes? Is Bardem destined to add another iconic psycho performance to his CV to sit alongside No Country for Old Men's Anton Chigurh, Skyfall's Silva, Pirates of the Caribbean's Captain Salazar, and Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile's mendacious Hector P. Valenti? We'll find out when the first of Cape Fear's ten episodes debuts on Apple TV on 5 June.
Summary: This take on the iconic psychological thriller is leaning all the way into Cady's crazy, with the Bowdens' familial bliss immediately thrown into disarray when Bardem's wild-eyed, heavily-tatted Cady rocks up on the scene having been unexpectedly released from what should've been a lifelong stretch in the slammer. "Do we deserve all this?" asks Anna of she and her husband's dreamy suburban life: "You deserve this," comes Cady's cold response as he closes in on the couple, leaving a trail of claret and panic in his wake.
Sounds promising. I might renew my subscription and binge watch it when the full series is available 😀
