Planet Earth
Commercials for Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel have been thick and furious for a while now, which is just fine thanks to the amazing footage and music. I’m fascinated already, and I’ve only seen commercials.
It’s an 11-part mini-series (though with 11 parts, it seems perilously close to a full-blown series ;) that starts tonight with the first three hour-long episodes.
- Planet Earth: Pole to Pole
- Planet Earth: Mountains
- Planet Earth: Deep Ocean
This is the best excuse for HD I’ve seen so far. :) Can’t wait!
More than five years in the making, PLANET EARTH redefines blue-chip natural history filmmaking and continues the Discovery Channel mission to provide the highest quality programming in the world. The 11-part series will amaze viewers with never-before-seen animal behaviors, startling views of locations captured by cameras for the first time, and unprecedented high-definition production techniques. Award-winning actress and conservationist Sigourney Weaver is the series’ narrator.
PLANET EARTH airs on consecutive Sundays from March 25 through April 22, 2007, on Discovery Channel and in high definition on Discovery HD Theater.
