The world won't stop until everything Stephen King has ever written is translated to the screen in some fashion. The latest Stephen King project to be given the small-screen treatment is "11.22.63", which tells the story of high school English teacher Jake Epping as he travels back in time in order to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Hulu picked up an eight-episode event series based upon the Stephen King novel and they've released a second teaser to get you in the time-traveling mood.

James Franco leads the series as Jake Epping and although I never got around to reading the Stephen King novel on which the series is based, there's been enough of interest contained within the teasers to get me interested. 11.22.63 also stars Chris Cooper, Josh Duhamel, T.R. Knight, Cherry Jones, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, Leon Rippy, George MacKay, and Daniel Webber.
A synopsis of 11.22.63:
