I remember exactly where I was when the Juice was loose on the freeway slowly evading police. I was in my dorm room thinking to myself, ‘WTF is going on.’ �Many years later, the country is still talking about O.J. Simpson and FX has new mini-movie to prove it.
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J.
Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B.
Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J.
Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.
Production of the FX limited series is currently underway in Los Angeles. Emmy� and Golden Globe� award winning producer and Emmy Award winning Director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, The Normal Heart) directed the first episode and serves as Executive Producer, along with Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Brad Falchuk. The People v.
O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story is written by Golden Globe-winning producers Alexander and Karaszewski (Big Eyes, The People v. Larry Flynt).
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.https://youtu.be/tkF12LaE970
