It's only a wee minute long but the first teaser trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal's Apple+ limited series adaptation of Presumed Innocent has arrived and 1) I had forgotten it co-stars both Ruth Negga and Renate Reinsve, and 2) there are some shots in here so steamy my glasses are all fogged up, and I don't wear glasses! The moment when Renate chokes Jake...
... I am gonna need a minute or two of recovery y'all. Anyway the series will premiere on June 12th -- also before that the first episode will be screening at the Tribeca Film Festival and obviously I'm hoping to be there for that. Also on the show is Peter Sarsgaard, Lily Rabe, Elizabeth Marvel. Watch:
So what do we think? I am, unsurprisingly, a fuck yeah.

I need Jake in a nice, hot, steaming gay romantic comedy or intellectual drama.
Oh yes, note to casting--Jake will not shave ANY body hair and will be clean-shaven except for maybe a day or two of beard growth. He will be dressed nicely. Nothing loose or baggy. Age-appropriate is the word that comes to mind. Shirtless when needed for the scripts would be nice but not to the point where he is just showing off.
It's so funny how much you dig him
I mean, I'm in for Jake, but having read the book and seen the Harrison Ford movie, I still DO NOT see how/why they are going to stretch this into a whole series. It's a good story, but there's just not that much material there. Not every book needs to be a whole fuckin' series, damn.
I’m also going to agree that making an 8 episode series from this story seems really ambitious. I’ve read the book when it came out, and rewatched the movie about 6 months ago. The book was quite the sensation for its shock ending. Maybe if they intertwine another subplot to develop the series, could work. AppleTV+ is weekly, so I’ll probably wait it out before giving it a look.
