TV Week article about LotS and Rob Tapert
Here’s an excerpt from the article “Master of Fantasy: Rob Tapert”:
Shot in New Zealand, “Legend” follows woodsman Richard Cypher, who discovers he has magical powers. Teaming up with the mysterious Kahlan and the wizard Zedd, the group sets out to stop an evil tyrant.
“At heart, Sam and I are independents and mavericks,” Mr. Tapert said, adding that removing the network from the equation erased a level of bureaucracy for the show to go through.
While the budget is slimmer than that of a broadcast show, syndication guarantees 22 episodes, which allows for stronger story planning, key to a fantasy-based show focusing on the characters and their journey.
The article also makes mention of possible cameos by Lucy Lawless, Kevin Sorbo, and Bruce Campbell. It’s already been announced that Sam Raimi’s brother Ted will be guest-starring in episode 4.
