MARCO POLO EPIC SHOW

 MOVES TO NETFLIX FROM STARZ

It seems another of the upcoming epic series MARCO POLO has found its new home. It was originally supposed to be produced for Starz, which ordered ten episodes in 2012, but now 'Deadline' reports that it will move over to Netflix for nine episodes, since it turned out that Starz' plan to shoot it in China wasn't realistic. With episodes already written and casting ready to start, the show will tell the true story of the world’s greatest storyteller, an epic and cinematic adventure of high politics, masterful manipulation and deadly warfare. Young Marco Polo finds himself at the centre of a brutal war between two empires in 13th century China, replete with close combat, romance and sexual intrigue, religious tension, political skulduggery and spectacular battles.

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
Real Marco Polo, the Italian merchant, was inspired to go to Asia by the stories of his uncles who apparently met Kublai Khan. He went on a journey with them which lasted incredible 24 years. Instead of a welcome, after his return he was imprisoned for almost five years. During his stay in the dungeon he dictated his stories to a cellmate.
