The first trailer for Black Bird has been released by Apple TV+, marking the final TV role played by late (great) actor, Ray Liotta. The industry and fans are still somewhat in shock from the news that Liotta died on May 26th, while filming a movie in the Dominican Republic; therefore it will be both cathartic and comforting for longtime fans of Ray to get to see some of his last work onscreen, in Black Bird. Take a look at the trailer, below:
When serving time, you’ll do anything for a chance at freedom-even if that means facing a suspected killer. Inspired by true events, Dennis Lehane’s newest Apple Original Series stars Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser. Black Bird arrives July 8 on Apple TV+
Inspired by actual events, when high school football hero and decorated policeman’s son Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison, he is given the choice of a lifetime – enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), or stay where he is and serve his full sentence with no possibility of parole. Keene quickly realizes his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through. But is this suspected killer telling the truth? Or is it just another tale from a serial liar? This dramatic and captivating story subverts the crime genre by enlisting the help of the very people put behind bars to solve its mysteries.
