ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA (2018) TV Mini-series Trailer 2: Paul Dano Believes in Benicio del Toro’s Dream [Showtime]

Escape at Dannemora Trailer 2

The second TV mini-series trailer for Escape at Dannemora (2018) has been released by Showtime. This trailer is more of a teaser than a full-fledged trailer but it does offer new footage of the upcoming prison escape mini-series.

Escape at Dannemora‘s plot synopsis: “In 2008, Richard Matt received a 25-years-to-life sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility without possibility of parole for the 1997 murder and dismemberment of his boss, William Rickerson. After that killing, Matt fled to Mexico, where he killed a man outside a bar and served nine years in jail before being extradited to the U.S. in 2007. In prison, he met Sweat, who was sentenced to life without parole in 2003 for the murder of a sheriff’s deputy. In June 2015, abetted by Mitchell and corrections officer Gene Palmer, the pair became the first escapees in the 170-year history of Clinton Correctional, the state of New York’s third-oldest prison and largest maximum security facility.

They were at large for 20 days, until Matt was killed in a confrontation after being spotted by law enforcement, 50 miles from Clinton and less than 20 miles south of Canada. Two days later, Sweat was wounded and then apprehended, less than two miles from the Canadian border. Mitchell and Sweat pled guilty to multiple charges related to the prison break. Mitchell received a sentence of 28 months to seven years in prison, serving her sentence at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in Westchester County, New York, approximately 300 miles from Clinton. Sweat was officially sentenced to an additional 3½ to 7 years. In June 2016, a report from the Office of the Inspector General in New York declared that a total of 20 uniformed and civilian employees enabled the escape in some fashion.”

Ben Stiller‘s Escape at Dannemora stars Benicio del Toro, Paul Dano, Patricia Arquette, Bonnie Hunt, and Eric Lange.

Brett Johnson and Michael Tolkin wrote the screenplay for Escape at Dannemora.
