The highly anticipated first full trailer of "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson" has finally arrived.

The one-minute trailer of the TV adaptation of Jeffrey Toobin's "The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson" shows the much talked-about white Bronco chase, as well as the potential drama behind the infamous murder trial involving the former NFL running back that happened back in 1995.

FX tapped a stellar lineup of actors who will portray the roles of the people involved in the most publicized criminal trial in American history. It includes John Travolta as one of Simpson's defense lawyers Robert Shapiro, Courtney B. Vance as Johnny Cochran, David Schwimmer as Simpson's friend and lawyer Robert Kardashian, Selma Blair as Robert's wife Kris Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, as well as Cuba Gooding, Jr who will portray the role of Simpson in the series.

During the special dinner held in celebration of the upcoming true crime anthology series, Gooding discussed how he prepared to portray the controversial role in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor said that he chose not to focus on the superficial mannerisms of the character. Instead, Gooding wanted to bring out some of the mannerisms that he believed to be a proper representation of Simpson during the trial.

"I looked at footage of him in that time period, got an essence of that, but I wanted to know about the people who talked to him, I wanted to know about the people he interacted with, I wanted to know what he thought about certain things in this life and then I formed an emotional core," Gooding shared.

Meanwhile, series executive producer Nina Jacobson told MTV News the upcoming crime anthology is very different from the other series that were also produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

"The violence is very sobering, but it is very, very restrained, because the story is much more about the trial and the circumstances and the cultural response, two years after the L.A. riots, and how the city and the country and the world responded to these events," Jacobson said. "It's a very, very different show than 'American Horror Story,' and very respectful of the people involved."

"American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson" is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016, on FX.
