STARZ FANS FLAMES OF ANTICIPATION
WITH FIRST LOOK AT THE DAVID S. GOYER
HISTORICAL DRAMA "DA VINCI'S DEMONS"
Beverly Hills, CA - November 5, 2012 - Today STARZ released a peek at the highly anticipated historical drama, "Da Vinci's Demons" with a first look trailer. "Da Vinci's Demons" is an original series penned by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel) and will air on STARZ Spring 2013.
Starring Tom Riley ("Monroe," I Want Candy), as the title character, "Da Vinci's Demons" is a historical fantasy, following the 'untold' story of the world's greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Brilliant and passionate, the twenty-five year old Leonardo Da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it.
The series also stars Laura Haddock (The Inbetweeners Movie, "Honest," Captain America: The First Avenger) who plays the celebrated beauty with obscure motives, Lucrezia Donati, Elliot Cowan ("Marchlands," "The Fixer," "Lost in Austen") who plays the shrewd de factor ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici, Lara Pulver ("True Blood," "Sherlock," "Robin Hood"), who plays his wife Clarice Orsini and Blake Ritson (RocknRolla, Titus, "World Without End") as Pope Sixtus' ruthless bastard son, Count Riario.
"Da Vinci's Demons" is the first project to enter production under the multi-year agreement between Starz Entertainment and BBC Worldwide Productions. Goyer, co-writer of blockbuster and critically-acclaimed films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and writer of the upcoming Man of Steel, is showrunner. Julie Gardner is Executive Producer, along with Jane Tranter, head of BBC Worldwide Productions. Production began this summer and STARZ will premiere an eight-episode first season in the U.S. in 2013.
