First ‘Wheel of Time’ Trailer is Here and It’s Epic
The first trailer for the long-awaited series is here!
The first trailer opens with the first line of The Eye of the World – the first book of the series – and expands into a vast world of magic, prophesies, intrigue, and the importance of the cycle of time.
Going with a longer format was always the way to go with this, and it looks like it’s going to live up to the books in terms of scale and style. Let’s hope the modified story will, too. The series will be a blend of the fifteen books instead of chopping it into a season per book in order to give the story a more organic flow (which for a story this size, is the right choice).
Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine, a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.
Amazon has a lot of confidence in the series – a second season has already been approved before the first season debuts.
