The Wheel of Time: The Heron-Mark Blade's Journey from Page to Screen

Fans of author Robert Jordan's literary world were given something more to get excited about on Wednesday, with the release of a video from Amazon Prime's live-action adaptation of The Wheel of Time that demonstrates just how true to the source material the series intends to be. In the following clip, viewers are given their first look at the Heron-Mark Blade and its journey from book to sketch to design to build to appearing on set and in front of the camera. In addition, showrunner Rafe Judkins (Chuck, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) offered to answer questions about the production later this afternoon (which we'll have for you in a later post).

For a look at how the Heron-Mark Blade made the journey from page to small screen, check out the clip below (and keep an ear tuned to the sounds of sword fighting at the end):

Here's a look back at an audio preview that was released at the end of October, teasing the action to come with a very important question:
