Guldgraver-dramaet KLONDIKE på vej

KLONDIKE beskrives som den første fiktions-serie, Discovery Channel har lavet. Med Ridley Scott som en af producenterne og Simon Cellan Jones i instruktørstolen, fortælles historien om to venner, der drager mod Yukon-territoriet for at lede efter guld. På den officielle hjemmeside beskrives KLONDIKE-mineserien således:

Discovery’s first scripted mini-series, announced last year, is based on Charlotte Gray’s book GOLD DIGGERS: STRIKING IT RICH IN THE KLONDIKE. Her tale brings to life the story of six strangers and their collective fight for survival and wealth in a small frontier town in the remote Klondike.

KLONDIKE follows the lives of two childhood best friends, Bill and Epstein, in the late 1890s as they flock to the gold rush capital in the untamed Yukon Territory. This man-versus-nature tale places our heroes in a land full of undiscovered wealth, but ravaged by harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters including greedy businessmen, seductive courtesans and native tribes witnessing the destruction of their people and land by opportunistic entrepreneurs.

På rollelisten finder man bl.a. Richard Madden (kendt fra GAME OF THRONES), Tim Roth og Sam Shepard. Serien vises selvfølgelig i TV, men i næste uge, den 8. maj, udkommer den på dvd og Blu-ray her i Danmark fra SF Film.
