You'd think Peter Jackson would have had his fill of fantasy worlds by now, but apparently not: the filmmaker has told AICN that there's a chance his next project after The Hobbit will be making a miniseries of fantasy saga Temeraire.
Naomi Novak's books tell of an alternate history in which the Napoleonic Wars are fought with dragons. We love the idea already. And considering how few films these days focus on that era, this could be an interesting project for Jackson and his eye for period detail.
"I can't see any degree of common sense in trying to mount them one at a time as feature films," Jackson says. "To me the stories, having read the first ones, already work as this continuing, on-going saga, so I'm thinking, 'Is there a marketplace out there yet for a large budget mini-series?'"
