Wizards 1st rule to be a tv series

[boredathome]

For those of you that have read the Terry Goodkind series "The sword of truth" there is a T.V series coming out called the legend of the seeker. I'm not too thrilled about it because I thought a movie for each book would have been the better option (granted they shouldn't make movies out of good because because they always fuck them up bad) but the trailer DISPLAYED HERE does seem to make it look good, albeit not on the movie i had playing in my head while reading Wizards First Rule. I just wanted to see if anyone thought this was good, bad, lame, awesome, stupid, etc.
It does start on 11-1-08 (two days) and has a two hour premier, I'd love to hear from all the Terry Goodkind fans about this and as stated above your thoughts.

I did enjoy the books, we'll see how this turns out.

I'm not a fan of Goodkind (although I did enjoy WFR), but I will be watching this series, at least at first. Hopefully they can stick to the plots of the books and cut down on the extraneous philosophical stuff Terry is so fond of. I hope this goes well, because if it does, it might mean more support for the proposed ASOIAF series on HBO. I have to say I think a premium station makes for a better medium, because 1) you can have more of the good stuff that will get cut out on the networks, staying truer to the source material, and 2) you can basically sculpt each season as necessary, instead of having to conform to the network's schedule.

Goodkind is a great author and honestly I'd love these books to be made in to movies. I don't watch any TV and i'm not going to make an exception, even if it's something that interests me, it's too time consuming to watch it every few days. Movies are maybe once a year even for a series, that I can handle. [/b]

Holy crap, thanks for telling me.

I've been waiting for this television series to start for about 2 years now, haha.

As for wanting them to be movies, you're crazy. A movie could never come CLOSE to doing justice to a even a half of a Goodkind novel.

A television series is undoubtedly the best plan, because for however much of the series they put in, it WILL be done very well.

The trailer looks amazing. My only qualm is that Richard is a little too scrawny and Zedd isn't scrawny enough, hah, but they could very well have done that intentionally, so they can show Richard maturing through the series.

Can't wait!
