Stephen King’s new mini series will be starred by famous James Franco, according to Hashtag Maine.

Stephen King is the author of a lot of books in the genre of thriller and horror. His books have also been adapted into films which have become very popular already like the classic “The Shining,” “Carrie,” “Misery” and many more. He also authored “The Green Mile” which was more of a drama and slice of life type than his usual horror genre.

Hulu has just released a trailer for the eight-part adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “11/22/63.” The name of the series will now have periods instead of slashes which it will now be dubbed as “11.22.63”, according to the Inquisitr.

The portal is located inside a local diner. The portal will then get him to the past, specifically in the year 1960.

Epping’s mission in going back three years before the assassination of the US President John F. Kennedy is to try different methods in stopping it. The problem is, however, is to pass the time along the way which gets him involved in the past, according to the Latin Post.
