If the rumors that have surrounded the possible announcement of Apple's video streaming service come true, on March 25, Apple will officially present its commitment to the streaming video market, a service that will not only consist of the series in which the company has been working for a little over a year, but will also be made up of part of the HBO catalog.
Thanks to Variety magazine, we have seen many of the productions that Apple is carrying out, as well as some of its next projects for this sector. The latest news related to this service can be found in the television series The heroes of time, a series that saw the light in 1981 and where we could find well-known actors of the time and of the history of cinema in general.
The new adaptation of this series by Terry Gilliam will be directed by the film director Thor Ragnarok, Taika Waiti, this film being his most representative work in his career as a director, since he has also worked as an actor and a writer, although with less commercial success than as a director if we except the Marvel production.
As I have commented above, in the original series The heroes of time we could find great actors of the stature of Sean Conery, John Cleease, Shelley Duvall, David Warner, Ian Holm, Jim Broadbent among others. According to Variety, the Cupertino-based company bought the rights in 2018, but it has not been until now, when it has closed the agreement to start production.
The heroes of time tells the story of an 11-year-old boy named Kevin, who is kidnapped by a band of dwarfs during the Napoleonic wars in Italy. At the moment, only who will be the director has been leaked. Of the possible actors who are part of the cast, nothing is known yet.
