As Deadline reports today, Amazon has hired Simon West to direct new historical mini series BOUNDLESS about two 16th century explorers who set out to disprove the theory that the world is flat. Told in four episodes, it will be a story about Juan Sebastián Elcano and Ferdinand Magellan’s epic voyage around the world after they set sail from Spain 500 years ago. With Spain's national television as co-producer, the series, shooting this summer, will air next year on Amazon Prime.
