Hulu’s new eight-part miniseries, 11.22.63, imagines that high-school teacher Jake Epping (James Franco) travels back in time to 1960 to prevent the killing, or at least solve it. 11.22.63 is based on the novel by Steven King and it features J.J. Abrams as an executive producer. The eight-part miniseries is coming to a laptop near you on President’s Day, so check it out if you want to see the most clean-cut version of Franco we’ve had in years.
“This story, this approach is so great because it’s a fresh way in, we’re not telling a history lesson. It’s a way to guide a new generation into what happened, ” Franco told USA Today. A fan of King’s novel, “I read it so fast because I loved it so much, ” he says. “I wrote a little piece about in Vice, and then not long after that I got a call from J.J. asking if I wanted to be in it.”
