The official trailer of a mini-series, Catch 22, starring George Clooney and Christopher Abbott, has been released by Hulu. Based on Joseph Heller’s novel of the same name, the 6-episode miniseries follows the journey of a WWII bombardier as he maintains his sanity while undertaking increasing dangerous missions.
Catch 22, a satirical anti-war novel was first published in 1961 and was first adapted into a film by Mike Nichols, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft.
The trailer is dramatic and funny and the story still seems relevant even half a century after the book was published. Catch 22 series is headed by George Clooney and his writer-director partner Grant Heslov. Both will also be directing one episode each.
