It has only been a few days since the broadcast of the first 2 episodes of the FX series ‘Shogun’, an adaptation the the 1975 James Clavell’s novel, and I can’t help but read as much as I can from the writing, making and production of this stunning TV series.
Although the show is based on the book, there are slight variations throughout the tv series in which writers have had to explore. The TV adaptation can’t help but explore the amazing historical background from this series.
Music Soundtrack by Atticus Ross, Leopold Ross, and Nick Chuba
If you haven’t watched the first 2 premiere episodes, take a moment to watch the and then follow the podcasts. It is incredible to get an insight on the characters, costumes, sets and writers insights.
The ‘Shogun’ podcast explores the amazing cultural & historical research done for the show. The research on the armour and the costumes is incredible.
A new adaptation offers a fresh take on James Clavell’s 1975 novel, which fictionalizes the stories of English sailor William Adams, shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and Japanese noblewoman Hosokawa Gracia
