'TUTANKHAMUN' EPIC SERIES
ON THE DISCOVERY OF HIS TOMB
While we are anxiously awaiting to see the premiere of TUT three part mini series at Spike on July 19th, over across the ocean, British ITV has announced the work on four part mini series TUTANKHAMUN, but unlike TUT, which deals with the Pharaoh himself, this one will bring the true story of how Howard Carter came to discover the tomb of Ancient Egypt's boy-king. The story will begin in 1905 as he leads an expedition to find lost treasures in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. However, he finds himself living rough when his license to dig is revoked, and he is forced to sell his previous finds in order to survive. An unlikely friendship with a British aristocrat named Lord Carnavon brings Carter back to archaeology, and helps him make one of the most significant discoveries of the modern age. Peter Webber (GIRL WITH A PEARL EARING) is directing!

Peter Webber, der schon das wunderbare "Girl with a pearl earring" ( mit Colin Firth und Scarlet Johanssen) gedreht hat sowie " Hannibal rising"
führt Regie.

LONDON, July 8 (UPI) — British broadcaster ITV says it has commissioned a four-part drama series called Tutankhamun, which will tell the story of archeologist Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of one of Ancient Egypt’s forgotten pharaohs.
Set in the early 20th century, the event miniseries written by Guy Burt “will focus on the legendary personal story of Carter, a solitary man on the edge of society who became an iconic figure and an unlikely hero,” a news release said.
[b]No casting for the series has been announced yet. Filming is to take place in South Africa during the winter of 2015 and early part of 2016.

The drama will be executive produced by ITV Studios Creative Director of Drama Francis Hopkinson and Catherine Oldfield. Simon Lewis will produce and Peter Webber is to direct.
“Howard Carter’s discovery of the lost tomb of Tutankhamun is legendary,” Hopkinson said in a statement Wednesday. “His all-consuming, obsessive search for the tomb pushed his friendship with Lord Carnarvon to the brink, whilst the adventurous and extrovert aristocrat poured his inheritance into the excavation.”
Oldfield added: “This is a fascinating and compelling story with real historical significance. It’s based on true events and reveals how Carter desperately tries to persuade his patron (Carnarvon) to continue to bankroll the excavation. Ultimately, it’s the story of what happens when you stake everything on one last roll of the dice.”
Zeitlich könnte es hinkommen- da müsste er den Novemberdreh von "Clearance" abgeschlossen haben- und könnte gleich in Südafrika bleiben
