      45 years ago, the BBC made a Roman history series called “I, Claudius”, based on two books by Robert Graves. It had Patrick Steward ( with hair!!), John Hurt as a great Caligula, and Brian Blessed in one of his better roles. Derek Jacobi played Claudius. Of course, the set pieces were not as expansive as “Rome”, but the intrigue, backstabbing, cruelty make it a great series to watch again.

      period drama & fantasy most likely will have big budgets. What's baffling to me is how romcom shows like BBT & Friends turn way too expensive LOL

  • @dimidrugg9592
    @dimidrugg9592 Před 3 lety +1

    I believe that another thing which made TBBT so expensive, besides main cast salaries, could be the fact that there were too many celebrity cameos, many of whom might have requested for a decent payment in order to appear in the show.

    You forgot about Wandavision. It was 25 million per episode. It’s the highest budget for a tv show as of now, until The Lord of the Rings arrives

    • @frankreynolds9930
      @frankreynolds9930 Před 2 lety

      No its not. The original quote was they could spend as much as 25 per episode. Not every episode is 25.

    Can we have Top 10 actors who are typecast in every movie they acted or will be acting in?
    10 alfre woodard : the miserable, tired and angry black lady. 3 roles in 1. Money back guarantee.
    9(A) priyanka chopra : dumb pretty indian lady.
    9(B) lucy liu : smart sassy chinese lady.
    8 kevin costner : plays himself to sleep and nobody bothers to wake him up.
    7(A) sarah jessica parker : plays herself in nyc that even new yorkers dont care.
    7(B) jennifer hudson : always play a black singer in a musical number and then win every awards available.
    6 helena bonham-carter : the crazy white english lady with bad hair and bad clothes, but brilliant acting.
    5 matt damon : plays ben affleck's shadow who will eventually elope with jlo in real life. Prediction in summer 2022 or whenever.
    4 morgan freeman : the old black guy with wise words and little screen time but gets the biggest paycheck.
    3 jennifer aniston : plays herself a million times cos thats all she knows. Her 5 best friends are also named jennifer aniston.
    2 ben affleck : plays himself till he gets tired of himself, which is highly unlikely.
    1 tom cruise : plays a very bad tom cruise who loves being tom cruise.
    0 tom cruise : plays oscar the golden statue to award himself for best actor, best director, best this, best that, best in his own lala land.

    I was expecting LOST. It was the beginning of big budget fantasy/sci-fi drama. The pilot was the most expensive at the time it came out and I assumed the rest of of show followed suit since the production value was incredible for the time. Also with such a large cast, even though most were fairly unknown, I would expect it to be pretty expensive.

      @helvete983 Před 3 lety

      Production values for TV shows are kind of coming in line with video games. Red Dead 2 cost something like 600 million to make, I think if they make GTA6 it will cost close to a billion, and make it all back in a day or so. With TV the more CGI they use the more expensive it gets, and then there is acting talent for TV too.

    Since your top spot is for a series THAT HASN’T COME OUT YET, where would the GoT prequel fit in there? The Witcher 2 3, 4, 5 ? Pretty sure that some unnamed series being launched in 5-10 years should have the top spot!

    JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis are possibly the two most influential fantasy authors (Tolkien across all genres, and Lewis in young fantasy in particular). But did you know that they were also both devout followers of Jesus Christ? In fact, Tolkien helped lead Lewis from atheism to Christ. Pretty cool!!

    I Stargate SG1 wasn't on the list. Stargate SG1 had a budget of $ 2.2 million dollars per episode. It was about 22 - 28 episodes per seasons. So, about $55 - $57 million dollars a season.
