Rachel McAdams Dishes On What She Thinks of HBO's 'Time Traveler's Wife' Series

Rachel McAdams is sharing her thoughts about the upcoming The Time Traveler’s Wife series, set to hit HBO in just a few weeks.

If you don’t know, the 43-year-old actress starred opposite Eric Bana in the 2009 film, which was based on the same novel.

During the premiere of her new movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Rachel revealed what she thought of bringing the story to the small screen.

“Adapting a book is always hard, and that was one of my favorite books, and it was always so painful to have to let so many things go because you had to just cram it all into an hour and a half or whatever it was,” she told IndieWire, recalling filming the movie 13 years ago.

Rachel continued, saying that she loves “that it’s being expanded. I think that the book lends itself well to that. And Rose Leslie, [who is] playing Claire, I think she’s phenomenal.”

She also said that while she avoids watching her own material, she’s looking forward to watching the HBO Max series without that pressure.

“I look forward to seeing it,” Rachel shared. “It’s, again, a story I love, so I can never really watch enough. I have a hard time watching my own films sometimes. So I’m not watching them over and over again, but I would love to watch this one.”

The Time Traveler’s Wife, also starring Theo James, will premiere on HBO on May 15. Watch the latest trailer here!
