Get Shorty TV Show Trailer

Epix‘s Get Shorty (2017) TV show trailer stars Chris O’Dowd, Ray Romano, Gillian Vigman, Christine Elise, and Lucy Walters. Get Shorty‘s plot synopsis: based on the novel by Elmore Leonard, “The adventures of mobster-turned-movie producer Hollywood. Get Shorty is the story of Miles Daly, played by Chris O’Dowd, who works as muscle for a murderous crime ring in Nevada and attempts to change professions and become a movie producer, laundering money through a Hollywood film. Three-time Emmy award winner Ray Romano stars as Rick, a washed up producer of low quality films who becomes Miles’ partner and guide through the maze of Hollywood.”

Like Fargo, Get Shorty looks like an intriguing TV adaptation. I thought the violence of the film would be watered down in the TV adaptation but I was mistaken.
