Starz has released first look photos from its anticipated adventure drama, “Da Vinci’s Demons,” an original series penned by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel), which will air on Starz this spring.
Starring Tom Riley (“Monroe,” I Want Candy), as the title character, “Da Vinci’s Demons” is a historical fantasy, following the ‘untold’ story of the world’s greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Twenty-five year old Leonardo Da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it.
Starz has also debuted Goyer’s personal production blog straight from the Welsh set of “Da Vinci’s Demons.” It gives an in-depth take on the daily production of one of this spring’s new shows.
Goyer will take you from script to screen discussing decisions made and why, exciting days on set, working with the actors and bringing a wealth of imagination together to create something incredible. Posts will range from photos and videos of David Goyer’s experiences creating the show to detailed insight into the making of episodes and scenes.
“Da Vinci’s Demons” is the first project to enter production under the multi-year agreement between Starz Entertainment and BBC Worldwide Productions. Production began this summer and STARZ will premiere an eight-episode first season in the U.S. in 2013.
