A peek behind the scenes 😲 @TheWheelOfTime premieres November 19th! pic.twitter.com/4ypRpXMcHV
It’s a short video, yes, but it’s sure to make fans of the Robert Jordan books the show is based on excited, and newcomers to “The Wheel of Time” world eager to see more of the series’ first season.
A Show That’s ‘Emotional and Intangible’
The video, for example, gives us a look behind the camera to see how the show created some of the magical effects, particularly around Moiraine’s powers. It also shows how they filmed riders on horseback, and gives us glimpses of different places in the show. We see shots of the Two Rivers, for example, the home of the young folks who Moiraine takes under her protection. And it also shows a quick shot of what looks like the cursed city of Shadar Logoth along with a great stone archway that looks like something of great import.
At less than 40 seconds long, however, the featurette can only show us so much. We’ll have to wait until November 19 to see “The Wheel of Time” in all its epic fantasy glory.
In addition to Pike, “The Wheel of Time” stars Madeleine Madden as Egwene Al’Vere, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon (though Dónal Finn will play him in Season 2), Zoë Robins as Nynaeve, and Josha Stradowski as Rand Al’Thor.
