One of my favorite movies from when I was a kid is finally getting an extension to its universe. I used to watch Time Bandits over and over and over when I was little. Mostly because HBO only had 12 movies at the time and went off air at midnight, but I grew to love it, Time Bandits had big stars like John Cleese, Sean Connery, and David Warner. A kid was the lead character and the hero of the movie. They traveled to anywhere at any time and had wonderful misadventures.
Time Bandits is soon to be a series on Apple TV+. It doesn’t include anyone from Monty Python. Nor are the Time Travelers all midgets like in the movie. But it does star Lisa Kudrow. So, there’s that. Taika Waititit is also in it. I think he plays God.
Anyway, I just watched the trailer for the original Time Bandits movie. It looks much worse than I remember it.
There will be 10 episodes starting July 24th.
