“It's never been about 'if,' it's always been 'when.'”
So goes a quote from brilliant (and beautiful!) Dr. Cassandra Rally (Amanda Schull) in the latest trailer for Syfy's “12 Monkeys,” a TV series adaptation of the 1995 Terry Gilliam film of the same name.
Like the movie, the show centers on a man named James Cole (Aaron Stanford) who is sent back in time from a post-apocalyptic future to prevent a deadly plague that will lead to the near-extinction of humankind. To accomplish his mission, all he has to do is kill a guy. That's it! Easy peasy.
Also: sorry, still no Brad Pitt here.

“12 Monkeys” is slated to premiere in January.
