MGM + RELEASES TRAILER FOR THE INSTITUTE TV SERIES BASED ON STEPHEN KING'S NOVEL WITH BEN BARNES IN THE LEAD

   THE INSTITUTE TRAILER   
FOR STEPHEN KING'S MGM+ TV SERIES
The Institute starts July 13th on MGM+
MGM Plus has released first trailer for their eight episode series adaptation of Stephen King's THE INSTI- TUTE with Ben Barnes in the lead role which is set to hit the streamer July 13th. When 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (Barnes) has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide. Tim Jamieson is a  disillusioned ex-cop who takes a job as the night knocker in a small town, withdrawing from the world until Luke’s plight reignites him and gives him something to believe in. Mary Louise Parker will be  Ms. Sigsby, the charming but iron-willed director of the Institute and a true believer in its awful mission. She’s certain history will come to see her as a hero.

  2. Il trailer de The Institute cattura subito un’atmosfera inquietante e misteriosa, presentando una struttura segreta che promette tensione psicologica e poteri soprannaturali con stile calibrato e visivamente affascinante.

    1. I will probably skip it myself as I have noticed violence against boys in it and that is a big no no no from me, I have zero tolerance for violence against children, especially the sexist one.

    2. It wasn't just boys that were assaulted here. Girls were equal opportunity torture in the book. Just the main character was a boy, so that's what the trailer focuses on. If I'm remembering correctly, it was a little girl they offed first, followed by several more. But you are right, that there does seem to be an uptick in movies and books with violent acts against children. Nothing new for King though, with stories such as Carrie, Pet Cemetery, etc dating way back before it was a trend.

    3. In the trailer above they hit the male kid in the face, but they would never do it to a girl, it is as if they think violence against men is allowed and OK already when they are boys. If you wouldn't do it to a girl, don't do it to a boy either. I have zero tolerance for this kind of sexism. Most films and shows promote this on a daily level without even blinking. How many times you see a woman slap a man in films and that is supposed to be funny.

    1. Since it is MGM Plus I imagine it will air somewhere else around the world, maybe on one of your German channels or streamers.

  4. This was one of my least favorite books from King. Not very memorable and seemed to drag on, so I am curious if the series would be a shift to actually being better than the book. We don't have MGM, so unless it ends up on Prime, HBO or Hulu, I'll be missing this one.

    1. MGM is a streamer, so it won't end up anywhere else.
