I read this entire series when it came out in the 80's and it immediately became - and remains - one of my favorite stories of all time. I can't believe they're actually bringing this to the big screen. The attention to detail and adherence to the actual story appears to be spot-on. Can't wait to watch. Especially on my new Apple Vision Pro!

[@Joellllllllll]

I am officially very excited for this show. I hope it ends up getting the success and attention it deserves if it turns out as good as it is looking!

[@Destiny_Swiftie]

Hey Joel Miller :)

[@Joellllllllll]

@@Destiny_SwiftieWhat have you done with Ellie.

[@Destiny_Swiftie]

I have her hostage! You have to pay 200,000,000 for her to be free. 😂😂

[@KissyMissy-pv1jj]

@Tara_Carpenter Why did you kidnap Ellie? That's why she didn't come to my party last night. Where is she??

[@KissyMissy-pv1jj]

Also Joel, Hi

[@dennispatel3188]

It is so refreshing to see a series made by honest people

[@sarabavota]

Oh my God, I am from Italy and I feel so honored that Italy will be part of the setting of this production! The Trentino Alto Adige region has such beautiful mountainous landscapes!

[@KorrusStoneHammer]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Matthatguy119]

The use of practical effects, location shoots etc fills me with hope for this show

[@meleebrawler6462]

Fun fact: the Italy portion for week 5 was shot at the same time as the teaser for BentKey’s Snow White.

[@LisaGrimm-LG]

I desperately need to know what the final budget for this is going to look like. Because there's so much care and labour that obviously goes into this production, and I need a modern point of comparison for all those big-budget hollywood productions that clearly waste a lot of money. I really hope this series will be a good one.

[@ShadowSomniari]

Попалась, Лиза! 😋

[@dukebeach1]

Two things were in this diary that we love. First, I saw one of the crew with a “Get Used To Different” t-shirt from The Chosen, and Rose Reid from “Finding You” as Finley Sinclair. Two wonderful productions and it looks like this one will be top notch too.

[@bluefroggy99]

I backed it up to make sure I saw “Get Used To Different”. Awesomeness!

[@aubreysummers1729]

Same!!!

[@verdaniacreator]

I saw the chosen T-shirt too!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheClem9779]

You know, it is funny. I hiked on those trails last year. I love this coincidence for some reason

[@Aavarius]

That's flipping gorgeous scenery.

[@peterkovic2241]

Loving the production diaries. Reminds me of DVD special features (which rarely get made anymore!!).

[@troywilliams1763]

This looks like it is going to be so high quality. Keep up the good work Jeremy!

[@jgt07]

Jeremy looks more and more like a director with each video

Don't know I've ever seen an adaptation to Arthurian legend and literature that was any good. Really hope this is excellent.

[@triplea657aaa]

Man, I hope the writing is good, because this looks like a LOT of work.

[@BlueDauntless]

Acting too

[@wudly9195]

I’m hoping it’s good too . I’m rooting for it to succeed , but not gonna force myself to watch it if it sucks

[@stryyker9]

the books are good. So far most of the scenes match up to the books. I just hope theres no "american" accents on this one.

[@e_out]

The dedication to getting the locations and shots right is looking fantastic!! Reminds me so much of Peter Jackson's LotR Appendices, the hard work and spirit behind the craft as well as love for the material.

[@Tklinedesign]

This Production Diary is epic on its own, I can only imagine what the final product will be like!

[@TheMadNation]

People are being put on fire for real. There is no chance for series to fail. This is what actors should do, instead of trying to cgi everything. So big respect to the entire staff, for trying their best to make it.

[@rullepufftail9709]

Something I love with these production diaries is that you get to see that these people really care about what they are doing. I think they are channelling the spirit of Lord of the Rings here, which leads me to believe that this show will be a treat! ❤❤

[@upcycletech7969]

I’m excited, I tried to share my hope of your venture with my 20 year old son and he is doubtful and jaded by the world’s film quality. Continue to breathe new magic and quality into this medium and show the youth we don’t need to accept or embrace the dystopian world that others envision for us. I want to sit down with my future grandchildren and watch a film that isn’t 50-60 years old. Thank you for making this a possibility!

[@curtismatsune3147]

Amazing that they're doing something of this quality on a much-smaller-than-Hollywood budget. As a businessman I know that quality is partly money but mostly passion, dedication and creativity.

[@rpgadventurer32]

They are shooting in real locations that exist in various European countries which may help reduce the budget. Even the scenes in Southern Italy seem to be the Atlantean scenes from the first part of the book and that would make a perfect visual and cultural sense.

[@usergodcandy777]

It's mostly money, bro.

[@ChoiceQueenxoxo]

​​@@usergodcandy777Depends on the uses, Disney got all the money but still chooses to do cgi and green screens.

[@curtismatsune3147]

@@usergodcandy777 No it isn't, "bro".

[@Carnaln8ure]

Is this the Pendragon Cycle that Stephen R Lawhead wrote? If it is, y'all have some brilliant material to work with. I love that series. Don't drop the ball. You better make this as good if not better than the G.O.T. series.

[@keziaburrows3554]

It is! I'm holding my breath for this production too 😃

[@person3538]

I doubt they have even close to the budget of GOT so chill with those expectations

[@Nuneven]

Yes, it is indeed. Jeremy, the director, has said they are his favorite books of all time.

[@DireitaSF]

Very high production value! The attention to detail and beautiful locations, that's some Hollywood level stuff! I am rooting for a huge success of this series, because you can already realize that it's going to be fantastic and epic :)

[@hdeditor]

This looks so awesome! I LOVE the fact that you guys are out on location doing this for real. Not some volume or CGI created crap, this will be felt in the show. Love your production diaries. Keep it up!

[@richardhawkins2248]

I'm absolutely thrilled with watching these production diaries. This looks epic.

[@jessicaangeline]

[@RaisinBran-ir4iq]

I can't imagine the vitriol I've heard about on Disney and other Hollywood sets...which is likely why you don't see them doing this. This is refreshing, seeing people so enthusiastic and enjoying their work!

I cannot wait to see the Atlantis scenes, and especially Charis fight the bulls!

I love these diaries ❤ I keep writing every week how exited I am about this series, setting looks absolutely breathtaking 😍 It has to be good, just has to, can't wait!❤

[@craigforest7970]

This looks pretty awesome.

[@verdaniacreator]

I'm so stoked they're including Charis' bull-dancing history. I wish we could get a flashback scene of her doing it in Atlantis...

[@Nuneven]

I just can't see how they could do that without HEAVY CGI. Considering how committed they seem to be to using real animals, I don't know how/if they could pull that off. But it would be insanely cool if they can!

[@asdf3ghjkl]

Wait for it…

[@tabularasa7350]

Hope this production is as good as I am expecting.

[@ninjagamer1359]

This is just looking so fricking cool at this point. Love these videos, and I can’t wait for the show.

[@wastelandsniper789]

Every production diary is making me more excited for this show. I'd never even heard of The Pendragon Cycle before I started watching these, and now I'm reading the first book. I'm getting really impatient to see the series.

[@thaumaticpig]

Honestly super cool to see the progress of the project week by week. No one else does this

[@lossapote]

5:59 I loved that dodging sequence and I love she's not using doubles

[@Video81501]

I think that is her stunt double at 5:56. Not sure though.

[@Nuneven]

@@Video81501 I think so, too. The fact that it's hard to tell it's not her in the stunt sequence is great :)

[@beehappee2883]

Just WOW!! I am so excited for this!! I’m so happy that it’s Daily Wire/Bent Key doing this! Only production company I will support now!!💕

[@Nuneven]

I think this is just a Daily Wire project. It's not going to be a kids' show at all, so I'm sure they won't be putting it on Bentkey. Bentkey is great, though, my kids have really been enjoying it.

Can’t wait to see this! If the music in the series is as good as it is in these videos, it is going to be even more awesome!!

[@Nuneven]

I've been enjoying the music, too. Honestly, there is so much good royalty-free music available these days, they could probably forego hiring someone to write a soundtrack, and still have great music throughout--but I bed they'll hire someone :)

This is my favorite book series. It has had such a huge impact on me. I can't wait to see it brought to life by such an amazing team!

[@juryrigging]

So I just binge watched all of these so far. The first couple I was mildly concerned that many things looked a bit clean and new to my eye, but by this one they had a more lived in feel. LotR was very meticulous about getting the right amount of wear to create a real, inhabited world, and would be a good example to follow.

[@lynnpetti3817]

Thank you. It’s fun to watch the progress.

[@Nuneven]

Omigosh, it looks like the teased Atlantis at the end there! I was thinking they'd leave that out completely due to expense, but it looks like we'll get to see some of it, if only in flashbacks.

[@rpgadventurer32]

It seems like they are going to use real locations and structures in central Italy - Lazio - to film the Atlantean scenes, at least for the inside scenes.

[@silver9wolf6]

Looking good!! I'm so excited to see all yhe real animals on set too! I've missed real horses and dogs in movies 😁

[@richardmonk6863]

Looks like it combines books 1 and 2. I love the concept. While book 1 adds a lot of basic info, book to imports and expands on it. Honestly each new book kind of does the same, but less so than the first 2 books.

[@rpgadventurer32]

This looks incredible! wow! The best production diary yet! By the way, Fossanova is in central Italy in Lazio, and the location of the filming for week 6 appears to be - "L'abbazia di Fossanova".

[@holdenchute7883]

Is there going to be a representation of the battle of loudon hill with saxons and Romano British battling that would be amazing

[@carlos_takeshi]

I'm not really into Arthurian legends per se, but this looks amazing and I'm definitely looking forward to how it turns out. I'd be interested in seeing they're take on sci-fi. Unfortunately, a lot of the good stuff has already been ruined, but maybe someday they'll find something.

[@rpgadventurer32]

There's plenty of Sci Fi books that have yet to be adapted. I would also like to see them get into Sci Fi in the future.

[@Nuneven]

This is a really, really different take on the Arthur story. It's going to feel much more historically rooted and gritty. As for sci-fi--I wonder if they'd ever tackle C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy?

[@AntiThesis10125]

Wow just the quality of these videos gives me high hopes for this series

[@lydiajohnson2156]

[@michaelmurray7199]

Submerging yourself in sub-freezing water, as Titanic’s 2nd officer Lightoller described it, is like having 1000 knives stabbing all over his body. At that kind of water temperatures, hypothermia would do you in in less than 20 minutes. In fact, most of the 1496 casualties from when Titanic sank were actually due to hypothermia rather than drowning.
