Universal Acquires Robert Jordan's WHEEL OF TIME - Aug 14, 2008 - 12:50pm
Yeah Rand al'Thor!Isgrimner I heard that as well about Red Eagle; it does indeed look like they held on to the bulk of distribution and merchandising rights for the series...which is pretty shitty considering they couldn't even establish a respectful rapport with RJ in the first place. And yes, Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series is terrible.

Hands down the best fantasy series to date. Aside from Red Eagle Entertainment's blundering of graphic novels and other related merchandise, I'm worried that Universal just won't throw enough money at this project to execute it well.Here's to hoping. And I totally agree with you monkeypie that WoT would work better as an HBO TV series than as a set of feature-length films. Take it the "A Song of Ice and Fire" route.

Kaybar, I'm still figuring out how to use some of the features here on the site. Your offer on Bloodheir would be fantastic! Drop me a line with the best way to get you my contact information and I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Michael

Yeah is right! I love the Wheel of Time series. Jordan's descriptive writing is beautiful. I loved the pace, I loved how real the world he created seemed. I could'nt figure out how he would stay true to his style and finish in one more book. People said it was slow going, but the detail is what made it possible to read, and re-read. In a way, I'm not sorry that he didn't finish it. There was no rushed ending. I'll still reread the books that I have, wondering how Rand ends up as a wanderer after saving the world, how Matt loses an eye, and whether Jordan would have made any telling mythological references to the upcoming 4th age at the end of the final book.

I love Proyas as a director and frankly, I trust him. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
