I suppose this should go over at Podcastle, but this thread is handier.
The Legend of the Seeker is based on Wizard's First Rule. Anyone heard anything about this new TV show? I'm gonna do a search on it, but figured someone here alread knows a lot.
Ah, I'm so confused. When I saw the billboards for that, I thought it was for the kids' movie based on the Dark is Rising series.
Anyway, yeah, I have heard of this adaptation.
Here's the site. There's some previews and videos and stuff. I remember watching the first preview of it on AICN where the Seeker stabs a mountaintop. That was pretty wicked.
It looks more along the lines of Hercules and Xenia to me than it does Lord of the Rings. Which, I know isn't an entirely fair comparison as one was a major motion picture and the others were...something else. But that's what i think of. If you check it out, though, let me know what you think.
