''The Legend of William Tell'' is a 16-part〔 television fantasy/drama series produced in 1998〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Cloud 9 ) 〕 by Cloud 9 Productions in New Zealand. The basic premise of the series — a crossbow-wielding rebel defies a corrupt governor — and the name of the title character were adopted from the traditional story, but the series was set in a fantasy world and featured supernatural themes. Described by executive producer Raymond Thompson as "''Star Wars'' on the planet Earth", this is a fantasy saga of bravery, magic, myth and romance. William Tell is the youthful leader of a band of young, ‘brat pack' outlaws, forever hunted by the forces of darkness, led by Xax and Kreel, who have usurped power in their homeland. The series of self-contained stories follows Will's quest to restore young Princess Vara to her rightful place on the royal throne and defeat Xax and Kreel's forces — and by doing so, bring back peace and order to the Kingdom of Kale. There is action and adventure along the way, magic, creatures, mystery, intrigue — but also much human drama and interplay among Will's rebel band who must support each other in their quest. The group encounter a diverse range of people and situations on their journey — some help the resistance movement, others are cohorts of Xax and Kreel. Filmed on location throughout New Zealand, the series makes use of natural scenery and has high production values. ==Cast== *Kieren Hutchison as William Tell *Andrew Binns as Xax *Nathaniel Lees as Leon *Katrina Browne as Aruna *Ray Henwood as Kreel *Sharon Tyrell as Kalem *Beth Allen as Princess Vara *Drew Neemia as Drogo 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Legend of William Tell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
