AceShowbiz - Ahead of the upcoming premiere of "American Crime Story", a new teaser for the new FX anthology series has been made available online for viewing pleasure. Highlighting the star-studded cast, it shares a shocking scene.
In the 30-second video, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s O.J. Simpson is mulling suicide in Kim Kardashian's bedroom. David Schwimmer's Robert Kardashian prevents this though, saying, "Do not kill yourself in Kimmy's bedroom. Give me the gun!"
Also in the sneak peek, Sarah Paulson's Marcia Clark is having a breakdown as she's overwhelmed by the unexpected attention she gets, and John Travolta's Robert Shapiro gushes about "the most high-profile criminal case in the world."
Created by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and is executive produced by Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, the new anthology series will focus on the 1995 sensational murder trial that involved O.J. Simpson in its first season. It will explore 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.
Also lined up in the cast are Courtney B. Vance as Johnnie Cochran, Billy Magnussen as Kato Kaelin, Selma Blair as Kris Jenner, Connie Britton as Faye Resnick who befriended Simpson's murdered ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and Jordana Brewster as the victim's sister Denise Brown.
"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" premieres Tuesday, February 2 at 10 P.M. on FX.
