It's November 2019, and the production-comprising hundreds of, and on some days nearly a thousand, people-is filming the end of the first episode of what everyone hopes will be a television show that runs for, well: six seasons? Eight? A show that will be as epic and sensational and ubiquitous as Game of Thrones once was. Michael McElhatton, who played Roose Bolton on Game of Thrones and is playing a character called Tam al'Thor on The Wheel of Time, sits on a stump in the middle of it all in a big down jacket, staring at nothing in particular.

Rosamund Pike, who starred in Gone Girl, is smudged with soot. The actors who wander the Two Rivers are made up to match. Every house-interior and exterior-has been charred enough so that it shows on camera. There are holes in roofs, artfully destroyed beams. The town's inn, an intricately rendered two-story building, is now blackened, its left side plunged into spiky rubble: Smoke machines give the impression that it is still smoldering. Then, a few days back, the producers and set dressers of Amazon's The Wheel of Time burned it down. Not long ago, this quarry, 40 kilometers outside Prague, held a carefully built fake town called the Two Rivers.
