What is The Wheel of Time?
Yesterday, the show’s Twitter feed published a photo of a clapboard from the set and announced, “And the wheel keeps weaving…Filming for Season 2 of our series kicks off today!” Thomas Napper, who helmed 2017’s indie boxing drama Jawbone and served as the second unit director on recent live-action Disney movies like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Mary Poppins Returns, is directing.
I’m increasingly curious to see if the company’s gamble pays off. Remember, this isn’t the only Wheel of Time-related project in the works: last week, we learned that a trilogy of movies is in development (with no studio or distributor attached yet). Each film is set in that same universe, and the trilogy will kick off with a prequel called Age of Legends.
