Leslie will play Clare Abshire, a “fiery, clever and unstoppable” woman who was visited by a man (sometimes old, sometimes young) since she was a small child, who would appear in the woods behind her home.
But, this kind and funny gentleman, who would tell her stories of the future, wasn’t an imaginary friend, as Clare thought, but a time traveler, and he’s not just from the future, but her future, specifically.
According to Deadline, Rose Leslie is set to join Theo James to play the leads in HBO’s upcoming drama series, The Time Traveler’s Wife, which will be based on the book of the same name by author Audrey Niffenegger.
