Amazon's Wheel of Time Production |OT|
- Thread starter MadLaughter
- Start date
- OT
I read on the subreddit for wot a guess at episode one and while i wanted it to start with the prologue too it won't make any sense who these characters are and what's going on. better to do it later.
the summary starts with a battle near Ghealdan with Logain. You get an early battle to keep people interested and you can have some knowledge dropped when fain comes to the village to spread rumors about the battle.
True, I was thinking of it like the GoT opening scene, but I guess it would be hard to link the prologue back to the main storyline for a while. I just wonder how they'll introduce the concept of the Dragon and make it as important as it needs to be without the prologue.
I wonder if they're going to present Logain as the real Dragon at first until he's gentled.
If the prologue isn't in the opening I would want it at some other point.
The prologue is great in the books, I'm not sure it would translate on TV. It's a lot of weird shit that doesn't make a whole lot of sense and won't for a long time. You got people dropping all kinds of name and places and shit that no one will need to know anytime soon. And then the two characters you introduce in the first scene disappear for.....like a long long time.
A simple scene of someone telling a story about how the Dragon broke the world and will be reborn again when the dark one is loosed is probably just as good at explaining what's needed for a few episodes.

Good pick. She can definitely pull off cute tomboy.
By the end of the series, Min was my favorite of the 'main' cast as Sanderson never really quite captured Rand, Mat or M_______ well enough.

I think the prologue would work great as an intro to the second season actually - by then the audience is invested in the stories and characters, and given the revelations at the end of the first book and the drama at the beginning of the second, it'd be a good place for it, and a good way to get people even more invested in continuing the series.
...but I wouldn't be surprised if they held it until a later season as a flashback, possibly while someone tells the story of what happened.

The prologue would make a great season capper.
Rand comes into his own at the same time as we see just how fucked Lews was by the end.
I REALLY hope the writers don't cleave to the text TOO much when it comes to certain things.
Expanding Lews Therin's wife, AOL analogues for Perrin and Mat, etc are all narratively useful shorthand that would enhance a tv series, but may not have value to the books.

They've changed their Twitter handle to TheWheelofTime instead of WOTonPrime.

Cautious sqeeeeeee.
If they're on a schedule of 6 second character promos every 6 weeks we could be waiting a while for a trailer. I wanna see the boys.

Season 2 will shoot immediately after season 1 is done shooting
Wow, I didn't realize they weren't done with season 1 yet. We probably aren't getting the show until 2022.Czech Republic Touts Production Return: ‘Wheel Of Time’, ‘Carnival Row’, ‘Dangerous Liaisons’, ‘The Gray Man’ Among Host Of Shoots

It's possible to be end of 2021, there isn't much left of season 1 to do. But likely coming early 2022. LOTR later 2022.
Yeah according to leaks they had shot roughly 90% before they had to stop for the last lockdown. So season 1 is really far along, and Rafe said they had been working on post production from home while they waited.
I'd guess it's possible to see season 1 near the end of this year, but it could be later.

They just need to release an actual trailer, these little snippets don't show enough context and some of it looks a bit off (Moiraine's dress, weird teddy trolloc in the background).
I know this clip wasn't meant to be released but still.
Party of me wonders if this clip hadn't finished post production and hence the reason they trimmed it to her face in the first teaser.
Would explain why they quickly took pulled out video down.
Wheel of Time has finished filming.

We've been told before that they had already started writing season 2 as it was greenlit by the studio (the writing room not an official season), so it's probably a given it will get at least 2 seasons.

Some of his answers are going to frighten people. Sounds like we're only going to get 4/5 cities from book 1. He seems really passionate about the project and having Sanderson, Harriet and whoever this Sarah are, I'm really looking forward to the show.
Man I cannot wait for this show, but I'm dreading the absolute fucking meltdown the fans of this show are going to have when it comes out.
Discord is already full of people flipping out because Rafe confirmed no Elayne (basically) in season 1, and that they couldn't afford to render the warder cloak in every shot with Lan in it for an entire season.....
People really can't get their head around the adaptation part of this show.

Yeah... I'll wait to see the cloak but I also will be extremely disappointed if there is nothing special about warder cloaks. They could have used some sort of material that shifts with the light or something.
It will be like Frodo & Sam's cloak in Two Towers, where it's normal, but then when they're in danger it becomes a perfectly formed rock to hide them.
