This week saw a trailer and new photos from the Apple TV+ series “Time Bandits”. If the title sounds familiar, it may be because “Time Bandits” is a film from 1981. It was both written and directed by Monty Python member Terry Gilliam. And stars such as Sean Connery and John Cleese played in it. “Time Bandits” 10-episode series premiering July 24 on Apple TV+. Then there will be two episodes weekly. “Time Bandits” is based on Monty Python member Terry Gilliam’s film from 1981. The TV series “Time Bandits” is created by Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement and Iain Morris. The series is both inspired by the film and has its own story. It’s a comedic fantasy/adventure series about an 11-year-old history geek who stumbles across a band of robbers who travel across time and space. Lisa Kudrow, Taika Waititi and Rune Temte are among the actors in the series. Taika Waititi has also directed at least one of the episodes.

And it’s wonderful to bring such a role into the world, and not just my muscular, hard-hitting Marvel and Viking characters, says Temte to news. He has also played Bron-Char in “Captain Marvel”, viking in “The Last Kingdom” and savage in “Villmenn”. Comic fantasy “Time Bandits” is a comic fantasy series across both time and space. A group of robbers, together with an 11-year-old history geek, must try to save both the boy’s parents – and the world. What are your expectations for “Time Bandits”? Haven’t seen the movie, and have no interest in the series Don’t know the movie, but would like to see the series Liked the movie, but don’t believe in the series Can’t wait to see Kudrow, Waititi and Temte in action Don’t like fantasy At least give the series a go a chance Show result Temte plays Bittelig, a big and naive guy he calls “the world’s worst bandit”, in good company with the rest of the band of robbers. – A unique experience The recording mostly took place in New Zealand, where Temte was for six months. – It was a unique experience in Peter Jackson’s studios in Wellington. For the most part, it was work around the clock. Most of it was in the studio. There were big budgets, lots of talented people and top catering, says the actor.

At home with Kudrow The most famous name on the cast list is probably “Friends” star Lisa Kudrow. Temte visited Kudrow at her home in Los Angeles during filming. INSPIRED: Rune Temte shared this photo with Lisa Kudrow on his Instagram account on July 9. Photo: Ingvill Dybfest Dahl He calls her a legend and superstar with her feet on the ground. – She is very unselfish and very private. She rarely goes out, because she is attacked by fans, also in New Zealand, says Temte. – But she is incredibly generous with everyone. A beautiful person and a God-given actor with unique timing and an inspiring ability to improvise, he adds. – Completely limitless Apart from Kudrow, both Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement have made a name for themselves with their very own variant of humour. Taika Waititi is both series creator, producer, screenwriter and actor in “Time Bandits”. Photo: Apple TV+ The New Zealanders created the film and the vampire series “What We Do in the Shadows” together. Waitiki, on the other hand, is heavily involved with Marvel, and Clement was one half of the comedy duo Flight of the Conchords. – They have made iconic things. You are challenged on all levels. They are completely limitless, and so am I, so then it will be gold, says a cheerful Temte and adds: – Fingers crossed! Loved the movie He really appreciates learning from working with people like Kudrow, Waititi and Clement. – As Ingmar Bergman said: only those who are well prepared can improvise. That’s how these people are. You learn. And when they are satisfied with what I deliver, well, then you just have to trust it, says Temte. Watch a clip from the trailer here: He knew about the film from 1981 before he got the role. – I’ve seen everything from Monty Python and I love it. Think what they got up to already in that movie. Terry Gilliam is a legend. I would say the series is more inspired by him, says the Norwegian. Hi! Do you have any input after reading this case? Or input on other good things? I am open to good stories from several fields. Feel free to send me an e-mail! Published 11.07.2024, at 14.34
