Time-Traveling has been the topic of fantasy ever since human beings learned the concept of time and space. Notable authors like H. G. Wells (author of The Time Machine) have tried to show what it would be like to really own a Time Machine. HBO’s upcoming series, The Time Traveller’s Wife, will be narrating one such story, starring Game of Thrones’ Rose Leslie. HBO has announced that the sci-fi series has started production in New York, almost two years after the show was first ordered.
HBO’s new drama series is based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Rose Leslie and Theo James have been tapped as the leads in The Time Traveller’s Wife. Adapted by former Dr Who head writer and Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat. The Time Traveller’s Wife tells the intricate love story of Clare (Leslie) and Henry (James), and a marriage with a problem… time-travel.
The six-episode first season of HBO’s The Time Traveler’s Wife is being adapted by Steven Moffat, credited both as executive producer and writer. Talking about the themes of The Time Traveler’s Wife, Moffat says:
“This is a story of loss but it’s not a tragedy. It’s about a time traveller but it’s not science fiction. Despite Clare and Henry’s time scrambled relationship, this is the tale of a grand, ordinary love – but not necessarily in that order. This is a dream project for me. I have always loved Audrey Niffenegger’s extraordinary, moving novel and it has inspired me many times, so to be adapting it for television is the thrill of a lifetime.”
Leslie welcomed her first baby with her husband Kit Harington earlier in January this year. What do you think about the upcoming sci-fi series? Tell us in the comments below!
