Terry Gilliam thought it “a very dumb idea” to create a series of 12 Monkeys, saying “I know nothing about that. That’s just ridiculous. It doesn’t have anything to do with me and no-one has contacted me.”
The 12 Monkeys sci-fi series ran from 2015 – 2018 and is loosely based on Terry Gilliam’s 1995 film of the same name, which in turn was based on Chris Marker’s 1962 featurette La Jetée. Marker is credited on the series along with David and Janet Peoples who wrote the 1995 film. The series was produced by the makers of the 1995 film – Atlas Entertainment as well as Universal Cable Productions. Charles Roven, producer of the original film, was one of the series executive producers.
On average each episode of 12 Monkeys has 60–75 effects shots but some episodes are as high as 100-125 shots, while others can include as little as 30.
David and Janet Peoples and Chris Marker gave the series their blessing. Madeleine Stowe who played Kathyn Railly in the original film supported the show after seeing the pilot episode, later appearing as a guest. Other guest stars include time travelling expert Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Matt Frewer (Max Headroom) and James Callis (Battlestar Gallactica miniseries and the Bridget Jones Trilogy).
