Every production diary has me more and more hyped for this series!! Just recently started the books too- great source material! It seems like y'all are really doing the series justice❤️

[@Dave-te5bs]

It just sucks that no one is talking about it. The only people who are talking about it are the Daily Wire. I wonder why?

[@amberdefere5521]

@@Dave-te5bs True! The Christian/Traditional-Values element probably scares away the mainstream.... Still making my way through the book series, but I can already tell it deserves WAY more attention than it gets. Sad to think I wouldn't have even heard of it if it wasn't for The Daily Wire... hopefully once the show comes out it'll bring in a whole new, larger fanbase to appreciate this story! There's definitely a large audience for shows about Arthurian legend.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

Every time I tune in for these- I'm **so** impressed with the beauty that are the choices of filming locations - it would be hard to _not_ be in awe of the majesty of the environment you find yourself in- when you aren't on some green-screened backlot, soundstage, or someone's weekender- with the promise that, 'the CGI will render it more impressive'...

[@juliebaskinger]

This will be a stunning series! Well done, Daily Wire!

[@xJessiGirlProx]

Sooo excited to see this. I’ve never read the book but I’ve always loved anything Arthur/Merlin related, and the production quality of this already blowssss me away

[@kp9894]

OH MY GOSH. I am just astounded by the beauty of Italy's landscape. The locatioms are seriously giving me LOTR vibes, and the way the hills are so large and vast in reality is really something to behold. I honestly hope this show would get a lot of advertisements by the time it comes out. I can't believe the dedication put into this show, it's just amazing! 👏👏👏 So excited for the action stunts in the next productiom diary!

[@Joellllllllll]

The scene they’re hinting at in Rome has me very excited. Such an epic part of the books, I don’t even want to spoil it here.

[@wilhelmbuzzkyll]

I hope most people read the books before watching this, but either way it looks like the show will be close to the source material.

[@Joellllllllll]

@@wilhelmbuzzkyllI think if the series does well it will convince more people to read the books who haven’t. How many have read Lord of the Rings that wouldn’t have without being introduced through the movies? I’m already envisioning Charis’ scene with the huge bull. I hope it turns out as epic as it was in the books. And the way that plays into her as a character, with her failing relationship with her father at the time. It’s so good.

[@KalebTillman]

@@wilhelmbuzzkyll I have been reading it and I'm very excited to see it come to life. It's excellent.

[@jaymullinix7425]

Words of sufficient import do not exist to express my thanks to the Daily Wire and Jeremy Boreing for what it appears they are creating with this. I discovered Lawhead’s books over the 2000-01 winter break in college. I churned through his entire catalogue to that point over the next semester, neglecting probably far too many study sessions along the way. The impact his books have had on my life has been seismic. As but one example, a decade ago we became Eastern Orthodox and while neither Lawhead nor his books have an Orthodox perspective I genuinely don’t think that massive event in our family happens without my encountering Lawhead’s books and the seeds they laid down. Over the years I’ve read most of his fiction series multiple times, Pendragon something like 7 times. In the early years of our marriage I read most of his novels aloud to my wife. I still recall how hard she wept at the close of Albion, her saying it was one of the most sad and beautiful and perfect story endings she’d ever heard. I couldn’t wait to introduce each of our kids to his books. Our two daughters - 18 and 16 - have read nearly all of them and our son, 13, is in his first pass through Pendragon right now. We look forward to watching every new production diary video together. My girls literally squealed with glee when they saw the bulls and bull ring on this one! I have longed for years to see Lawhead’s work brought to film - for this series most of all. When I listen to Jeremy talk about this project or read what he’s said about it I recognize his passion. I love seeing it. I’m grateful that this project is in the hands of someone with a true love for these tales. I cannot wait to see the finished product. May the Swift Sure Hand bless and prosper what is being created. Many many many thanks.

[@ninjagamer1359]

This was touching to read! I hope they do it justice for you and your sweet family’s sake

[@marlena.]

I just started reading them, they were never translated into my language though so getting through them is a bit of a though read for me. Do you know if there are audiobooks of them somewhere? Would be alot easier😉

[@abcun17]

Amazing vistas, incredible natural beauty. No amount of CGI, Volume (StageCraft) footage or fancy sound stages and studio backlots can equal this and actual locations in general. Great production vlog! Good luck and all the best with the remainder of the production. Or as they say, break a leg!

[@justaww4518]

And they don't need 200 millions $ budget!

[@Ivywalls]

The actors and crew are doing such a good job. I am excited to see them in other things.

[@justaww4518]

[@thesoldier1116]

I'm really touched to see that my region Abruzzo is appearing increasingly more on Tv for his natural set. Given the facts that it is quite unknown for most foreigners im glad it is used. I would add that the specific part where they are producing this film is a natural park where bears and other species live peacefullly in this area. Now ill surely watch the show

[@angelalemos9811]

I love how this video came much quicker. The conditions seemed hellish. I can't wait to see what that scene will be. I heard people saying it was related to the bull dancing

[@Rosefire]

I'm amazed and impressed they built the bull arena. Not sure what the budget is for this series but that must've cost money and time to shoot in such distinct locations and use real effects as much as possible instead of CGI everywhere. To see film creators and actors struggling outside in erratic harsh weather all to get the best out of their scenes reminds me of what Critical Drinker said about the hard work and dangers put into Jackson's LOTR trilogy. You can tell when stories have been crafted with passion and dedication.

But I haven’t been able to acquire them, money’s thin right now and in the small town I live in (in Mexico) there aren’t many options in the public library to begin with much American fiction books😔 I hope you’re enjoying the series and that’s it’s a great read so far

[@keziaburrows3554]

There are pros and cons of filming on-location, a few being time/budget constraints (getting cast/crew/equipment in one place quickly and efficiently), noise pollution (especially near cities/roads), and permits/permissions to shoot in the first place.

If she joined Daily Wire, all of that stuff you mentioned should be included. Unless maybe she just got the Reader's Pass tier membership, which doesn't include most of their video content?

They are in fact releasing an adult cartoon show next year (looks to be a comedy in the vein of King of the Hill, etc.) And they have a few decent kids' cartoons on Bentkey (their show Runes is probably the closest to what you're thinking of. My kids adore Avatar, and they like Runes a lot.)
