THE PROJECT

Info about the "Pilot"

The 9Realms projects goal is to create a full Fantasy/Medieval TV Series filmed and produced in Connecticut. The Pilot takes place in 972 A.D and tells the story of a disgruntled soldier named Thomas, stuck in a never ending campaign of death and destruction. Thomas comes across a young blind girl, Lydia, who is held captive by a small village which fears her abilities. Thomas decides to help Lydia, rather than follow orders and take her life and those of the villagers.

Thomas is a prized solider of a Christian legion called the Red Spectres, whom are ordered to purge the land of the Pagan faith. Thomas flees from his old comrades, under penalty of death for desertion. Thomas is pursued by his lifelong friend, Edward, who is like a brother to him. Thomas is haunted by visions of a ghostly woman who appears on the eve before major battles. A Valkeryie, Aryithia, follows Thomas for secretive reasons. All Thomas desires is to find peace with his wife and children, and keep the innocent gifted Lydia from harm.


The current goal of the 9Realms project is to raise $230,000 for the production of the 9Realms Pilot. The 9Realms project is currently planned to be shot entirely in Connecticut. Funds are being raised for the initial Pilot. The Pilot will be pitched to various network such as; A&E, SyFy, AMC, NBC, and FX. We will also be submitting the Pilot to film festivals to gain recognition.

THE SERIES

Our vision for 9Realms

9Realms is based heavily on Norse Mythology. The series will follow the conflict between this Pagan religion and the heavy Christian influence in "The Holy Roman Empire" during the late 10th century. It will deal with life in the historical past, as well as living in the more mystical afterlife. The series is influenced by Hercules, Gladiator, Game of Thrones, God of War, Valkyrie Profile, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings and various other media. It strives to tell a compelling, original story that follows numerous characters in their various journeys. 9Realms art style will be heavily influenced by director Guillermo del Toro, director of Pans Labyrinth and the Hellboy Films.


"Life...It can end so quickly. But sometimes...death is when the true journey begins."

--Lydia, 9Realms Quote
