Official Trailer | Savage Kingdom
“When we developed the series, we immediately saw the parallels between the battle for power in George R.R. Martin’s fictional world and the vicious fight for survival in the animal kingdom,” said Geoff Daniels, executive vice president and general manager of Nat Geo WILD. “We knew that Charles Dance could tell this story the way it needs to be told. His chilling voice captures the essence of this tale of the kings of the savanna fighting for the throne, complete with brutal violence, unexpected deaths, surprising characters and even interfamily romance.”
From a review
“Savage Kingdom,” a three-part nature documentary that begins Friday on Nat Geo Wild, is hard to watch and even harder to listen to.
It’s an effort to capitalize on “Game of Thrones” by imposing a human narrative onto wild animals in Botswana, in southern Africa. A “Game of Thrones” star, Charles Dance (who plays Tywin Lannister in that HBO series), reads a ponderous narration in a sonorous voice that is supposed to be ominously intriguing but is too often just nap-inducing. It doesn’t help that the default speed of the six-hour mini-series seems to be slow motion. The combination of voice and slow motion is only slightly more stimulating than a television yule log.
.......
The cliché-heavy narration Mr. Dance is saddled with is full of references to defending the border and military-style strategy worthy of MacArthur. In this overwrought world, female hyenas aren’t merely tending their young. “The sisterhood is raising an army,” Mr. Dance intones.
Mr Dance about director Anna Forester
Talking about his experience of working in the film, and especially about his experience working with his director Anna Foerster, Charles says, "I absolutely adore Anna. I think she’s wonderful. Very calm. You know, the atmosphere on the set comes from a director and she has a very calm, quiet, precise way of working. I’ve – I think she’s wonderful. I really do. And I think the franchise is very lucky to have her directing this she’s a director of some substance."
