Without question, one of the most iconic pop culture moments of the past 30 years is the O.J. Simpson white Bronco police chase that marked the start of a national obsession with Simpson's trial for the murders of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. On February 2016, FX's "American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson" will take viewers inside the Bronco during the fateful chase.
A recently released exclusive new teaser for the mini-series includes a footage of the Bronco chase recreated by "American Crime Story" production team reports EW. The clip from FX begins with Simpson's white Ford Bronco fleeing down Interstate 405 with three police cars in pursuit.
According to Us Magazine, the cameras then will shift to the inside of the vehicle. The text of the clip reads "You saw the Bronco. But you weren't in the Bronco". Cuba Gooding Jr, who portrays Simpson, is then seen sitting in the back seat of the car, gripping a silver pistol in his hand. "I'm not a bad person," says Cuba as Simpson. Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Al "A.C." Cowlings, though unseen in the frame, is presumably driving.
Last October 21, FX released the first three teaser trailers reports Hollywood Life. In the first one, John Travolta as Robert Shapiro is questioning OJ Simpson. In another, O.J. is strapped to a lie detector test. The teasers are too short to give viewers a lot of information.
The 10-part miniseries also goes behind the scenes of the trial. The cast includes Simpson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Robert Shapiro (John Travolta), Robert Kardashian (David Schwimmer), Johnnie Cochran (Courtney B. Vance), and Marcia Clark (Sarah Paulson).
"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" will run for 10-episodes over the course of the first season and is based on the book, The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin. The mini-series gives viewers a look at the O.J. Simpson trial from the perspective of the lawyers and how a jury found O.J. to be innocent.
