Holy Crap! This could be AWESOME!
I was checking Bett's Books Current Inventory and stumbled on this little tidbit of news...
WIZARD's FIRST RULE
to be made into TV miniseries!
Sam Raimi, best known as the director of the hugely successful SPIDER-MAN and SPIDER-MAN II films, and his producing partner Joshua Donen, have optioned film rights for Terry Goodkind’s enormously popular bestselling SWORD OF TRUTH adventure series, published by Tor Books. Having been approached by Hollywood a number of times over the past decade, Goodkind was never convinced that his 400,000 word bestselling novels could be successfully compressed into worthwhile feature films. In a meeting at the author’s home, the renowned director and producer instead conceived of a groundbreaking mini-series. Within two hours Goodkind was sold on the concept and negotiations commenced. Ten months later the deal was finally concluded. “It’s a dream come true to work with someone of such remarkable vision, talent, and ability,” Goodkind said. “Given Sam’s sincere love for these stories and his determination to only make great films, this mini-series will be a watershed event.” Taken from bettsbooks.com
Thought you guys and gals out there might find it interesting. Let's just hope they don't mess this up too bad. I love the books, I just hope this doesn't ruin anything for me like Harry Potter did.
