Leslie will be joined on “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by “Game of Thrones” director David Nutter, who is set to helm all six episodes of the new show. Nutter directed nine episodes of “GOT,” including Season 3’s “The Rains of Castamere,” which included the Red Wedding; the Season 5 finale “Mother’s Mercy,” featuring the betrayal of Jon Snow by the members of the Night’s Watch; and three of the final season’s six episodes. Before that, he directed episodes of “Entourage,” “The Pacific,” “Band of Brothers,” and “The Sopranos” for HBO. He also worked on shows like “ER,” “The West Wing,” and “The X-Files” for network TV.
Leslie, for her part, has stayed busy since Ygritte’s demise in the fourth season of “Game of Thrones,” appearing in films such as “The Last Witch Hunter” and “Morgan” and on series like “The Great Fire” and “The Good Fight.” In addition to Leslie and James, “The Time Traveler’s Wife” will also feature Natasha Lopez and “Utopia” star Desmin Borges.
Niffenegger’s novel was previously adapted into a film in 2009, which starred Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.
