Taika Waititi, the comedic filmmaker best known for directing “Thor: Ragnarok,” (https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/02/thor-ragnarok-takes-us-to-a-weirder-goofier-corner-of-the-marvel-universe/) has signed on to co-write and direct the pilot of a “Time Bandits” series currently in development for Apple.
The series is being co-produced by Anonymous Content, Paramount Television and Media Rights Capital.*Deadline broke the news (https://deadline.com/2019/03/taika-waititi-write-direct-time-bandits-series-in-works-at-apple-1202573383/)of Waititi’s involvement.
The “Time Bandits” series was*first announced last year. (https://deadline.com/2018/07/time-bandits-apple-tv-series-deal-terry-gilliam-anonymous-content-paramount-television-mrc-1202435077/)*It’s based on the cult classic Terry Gilliam film of the same name, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Bandits)which follows a young boy who tags along with a group of dwarfs as they jump through space and time, hoping to get rich and encountering a long list of famous semi-historical figures (Sean Connery as Agamemnnon! John Cleese as Robin Hood!) in the process
This is one of a number of projects that Waititi has coming out this year — he’s also an executive producer on the FX adaptation of “What We Do In The Shadows” (the vampire comedy he wrote, directed and starred in with Jemaine Clement), a director on “The Mandalorian” (https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/12/mandalorian-pedro-pascal/) (the live action Star Wars series for Disney+) and his next film “Jojo Rabbit” is due for release this fall.
And while we’ve been reporting for more than a year (https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/10/apple-and-steven-spielberg-are-reportedly-rebooting-amazing-stories/) on all the movies and shows Apple has been commissioning, we may finally, finally get the first official details on the company’s streaming plans at an event on March 25 (https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/apple-sends-out-invites-for-march-25-special-event/).
