re: Wheel of Time TV, Full Trailer Oct 27, show premieres Nov 19

There are likely Covid restrictions so they just decided to hire an experienced crew and film it all in Spain and try to have it as self contained as possible.

It does make me wonder...we know that people have seen the first 3 episodes. It makes me wonder if they thought there wasn't enough of Logain and thought it his storyline was too tacked on so they are expanding it, or if they planned all this all along.

I feel like it didn't even need to be said, but the WOT community is weird.

WOTonPrime social announced that there won't be a WOT trailer or clip during a Super Bowl ad, or anytime soon.

They do plan to have a little something for the community within the next month (sounded like something what the have done, a brief 10-ish second making of highlighting something like they have done previously (Rand's sword, Thom's guitar).

For some reason there were a bunch of posts from people on various sites thinking it was possible, which is why the WOTonPrime account put it to bed.

Those people are nuts.

Rosamund Pike was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for the film "I Care A Lot".

If she wins I wonder if it affects the profile of the show?

(She is a producer on the show so I don't think it will make her less likely to be on it in the future).

Yep I think it makes most sense to have the final episode essentially be the horn getting stolen.

GOT was really successful doing - 2nd to last episode being the big battle type thing, climax of the season, and the last episode had some more character type stuff and usually a set-up for next season.

So for WoT, episode 7 being the blight and eye of the world (if they go that route, I highly doubt we see a big battle with the forsaken as it is written in the books since it comes out of nowhere) and then episode 8 is dealing with Rand, that early book 2 stuff with him being worried about the Aes Sedai and then the attack / horn getting stolen.

First actual clip from the show. Mat’s dagger

People are relatively sure there are some more shoots scheduled for April, but no one knows as to what extent.

One report was it was just pickup shoots which are relatively minor, but no one is certain.

You would think the first 6 episodes are pretty much in the can.

I do not think Season 2 has officially been greenlit. They have greenlit writing the scripts like over a year ago, but no official pickup of a season 2. It would make a LOT of sense to do that though.

I really can't make out what the last bit is supposed to be and neither can anyone else.
It looks to me like the beginnings of a intro like the serpent ring or even a dragon but I can't see shite.

This youtube guy (WoT Up) says he is hearing that season 1 filming likely wrapping up by end of May!

Also mentions some season 3 tidbits and likely story for that season - mostly speculation but he seems to have a lot of people in the know who he gets info from.

Also talks about how Wheel of Time is getting mentioned in stuff like Vogue, Esquire and other mainstream media. Seeing more and more of that stuff run mainstream is a really good sign that Amazon is betting big on WoT IMO - those kind of stories definitely are pushed behind the scenes a lot of time.

Fall release seems likely, hopefully more teasers and a full length trailer released soon.

I'm starting to get really excited - I remember back when the internet seemed really new (using Windows 95) looking at potential casting threads and never thinking this series would get its own show.

I'm very confident in a really good telling, seems like the money is there, they are hiring talented people for all facets and all the changes I've heard about seem designed to highlight the spirit of the story and the characters for delivery in a different media format.
