" SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 10 /Standard Newswire/ -- More than five years in the making, PLANET EARTH reveals the complexity of God's world with breathtaking vistas of some of nature's rarest places and never-before-seen animal behaviors captured by cameras using unprecedented high-definition production methods. This remarkable series redefines blue-chip natural history filmmaking and continues the Discovery Channel mission to provide the highest quality programming in the world. Award-winning actress and conservationist Sigourney Weaver joins Discovery Channel as narrator. PLANET EARTH will air on consecutive Sundays from March 25 through April 22, 2007 on Discovery Channel and in high definition on HD Theater."
" For Mexico's Cave of Swallows, the crew descended 1,300 feet on a single rope no thicker than a finger, taking more than 30 minutes just to reach the bottom. More than 300 hours of film were logged before capturing the never-before-filmed 90-second Blue Bird of Paradise mating ritual, and an American cameraman spent frustrating hours crawling around Tibetan soil looking for foxes never before caught on film. Weeks into their Himalayan shoot, a crew filmed the first-ever up-close images of the elusive snow leopard -- and were stunned to witness not only a harrowing vertical hunt of a mountain goat, but quiet, intimate images of a mother and her cub. "
" Filmed in more than 200 locations, each of PLANET EARTH's 11 episodes focuses on a specific habitat, illustrating life in the highest mountains and the darkest caves; the shallowest water and the deepest oceans; ice-covered lands and great plains; untamed jungles and giant forests; fresh water and the harshest deserts. PLANET EARTH's premiere episode, Pole to Pole, ties the series together with a fresh understanding of how these habitats are interconnected. "
