DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic's press release, November 2024) Tom Hiddleston brings his passion for ancient history to life in SURVIVING POMPEII WITH TOM HIDDLESTON (working title), produced by Plimsoll Productions. Continuing his partnership with "Loki" executive producer Kevin R. Wright on this original concept, Hiddleston leads a groundbreaking historical exploration that immerses audiences in the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and the hauntingly preserved Roman city it left behind. SURVIVING POMPEII (working title) is a creatively ambitious meld of documentary and drama on a journey into the past that is still echoed in the present. Hiddleston, who studied Classics at Cambridge University and is a dedicated enthusiast of ancient history, embarks on a detective-like quest, breathing life back into the lost voices of Pompeii's people. Each episode uncovers real stories hidden for centuries, revealing the extraordinary instants of everyday life that allow us to touch the humanity of those who lived almost 2,000 years ago. Through richly emotional narratives, Hiddleston unveils a remarkably modern city and brings to light the lives of ordinary Romans - not just the elite - showing how their resilience and choices still echo in our world today. SURVIVING POMPEII (working title) is both a forensic investigation and a deeply empathetic experience, drawing viewers into a meticulous, minute-by-minute retelling of Pompeii's final moments. This is history as you've never seen it: captivating, urgent and profoundly human. |
