The great futurist author Jules Verne stunned his readers more than a century ago with predictions of global air travel, undersea warfare, even man walking on the moon. Today, many of the extraordinary flights of Verne's imagination have become reality. Where did the Father of Modern Fiction first conjure these visions? Was he, as some supposed, a prophet? A wildly imaginative scientist? A lucky dreamer? Actually, he lived them as they happened. This is the premise of a mind-bending $40,000,000 television series-the world's first available in 16:9 HDTV format with surround sound. We think Verne himself would applaud this high-tech visualization of his timeless works.For The Adventures of Jules Verne, series creator Gavin Scott has woven a rich tapestry of fact and fantasy. Just as Verne refused to accept the technological limitations of the 19th century, the producers have pushed the literary envelope-creating a fantastic world peopled by the real Phileas Fogg and his inventive valet Passepartout, who team up with young Verne and Fogg's exotic but dangerous cousin Rebecca.

         To realize this dream, visualize the retro-futuristic inventions, eye-popping special effects and re-create exotic nineteenth century locales, the Jules Verne stage was designed from the ground up. This 100,000 square foot all-digital facility is the largest HDTV studio in North America. Its team of gifted designers, computer artists and construction crews have brought everything from the streets of old Paris to steam-powered space vehicles to vivid life. An appealing international cast, plus top-name guest stars like David Warner, Margot Kidder, John Rhys-Davies, Michael Moriarty, Mako, Patrick Duffy, Tracy Scoggins and Rene Auberjonois lend the production a first class look to match its groundbreaking storytelling and technical wizardry.
