The trailer states:
‘Two percent doesn’t sound like much, but two percent of the entire planet, of every person on it,’ the voice-over said amid images of people walking on city sidewalks and driving in heavy traffic.
‘That’s more than the world’s 10 largest cities combined. That’s more than every death from every war in the 20th century,’ the explanation continued.
‘If every one of those people joined hands they would wrap around the world six times. It’s 140 million people,’ the voice-over said as a mother put her child into a car seat and slammed the door.
The Leftovers is based on a 2011 novel by 52-year-old writer Tom Perrotta, and was created by Tom and 40-year-old Damon Lindelof the co-creator and showrunner of the television show Lost.
