TOM HIDDLESTON IN
POMPEII: OUT OF TIME DOCUSERIES
 |
| New docudrama starts next month |
The three part documentary series is a fusion of cinematic scripted
drama and investigative documentary storytelling that transports
audiences to ancient Rome in the hours before and during the eruption of
Mount Vesuvius. Guided by a team of archaeologists, historians,
geologists and disaster experts, Tom Hiddleston uncovers remarkable
evidence, and the stories of real people that challenge long-held
assumptions about Pompeii and its final hours, not least revealing that
many of those caught up in the disaster had the chance to survive.
Following a teenage apprentice, a powerful businesswoman and a
mysterious Praetorian Guard, he pieces together how each confronted
impossible choices as disaster loomed. As the volcano awakens and the
countdown to
catastrophe begins, the evidence converges in a gripping
race against time to uncover who survived, who perished, and what
determined their fate.
