INTERVIEW - John Fusco, Dan Minahan on writing an entertaining drama rather than a historic drama at 'Marco Polo' junket

The video discusses the creation of a story about Marco Polo, emphasizing entertainment over strict historical accuracy. The creators took liberties similar to Marco Polo's own embellishments, aiming to make the story accessible and engaging. Despite being set 800 years ago, the themes of drama, family, and intrigue remain relevant. Marco Polo is portrayed as an observer, providing a lens into the complex world of court intrigue and warfare.
