Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie shines in The Time Traveler’s Wife trailer

Time-Traveling has been a prime fantasy topic ever since human beings learned the concept of time and space. Notable authors like H. G. Wells (author of The Time Machine) have tried to show what it would be like to really own a Time Machine. HBO’s upcoming series, The Time Traveller’s Wife, will be narrating one such story, starring Game of Thrones’ Rose Leslie.

HBO’s new drama series is based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Rose Leslie and Theo James have been tapped as the leads in The Time Traveller’s Wife. Adapted by former Dr. Who head writer and Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat. The Time Traveller’s Wife tells the intricate love story of Clare (Leslie) and Henry (James), and a marriage with a problem… time-travel.

The series marks Game of Thrones alumna’s Leslie return to HBO. Her Claire Abshire is fiery, clever and unstoppable — and for most of her life, she’s had an amazing secret. Since she was 6 years old, Clare has had an imaginary friend: a kind and funny man. Sometimes old, sometimes young, who appears in the woods behind her house and tells her tales of the future.

As the years pass and she grows into a beautiful young woman, she starts to realize her friend is not imaginary — he’s a time traveller, visiting from the future. And he’s not just from any old future, he’s from her future. Clare has a literal date with destiny. One day she’s going to meet a young man called Henry DeTamble, whom she’ll know very well but who won’t recognize her at all. She will become the time traveller’s wife.

Leslie recently opened up about Kit Harington’s addiction issue. Are you excited about the sci-fi fantasy? Tell us in the comments below!
