Based on GoT, I'm not too sure about that. Werthead Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 01:43:36 PM
Looking at GoT, they're packing about 80 pages into an hour and there's still some moments where the pace is problematic. To put two books into just 12 episodes, you're looking at well over 100 pages an hour (EYE OF THE WORLD and GREAT HUNT combined are about 1500 pages). Even trimming out the description, I think it's either undoable, or only doable by sacrificing a lot of events.

A bigger problem is that the scope of WHEEL OF TIME compared to GoT in terms of locations, special effects, creature effects and prosthetics and so on is much higher, and GoT isn't exactly lacking in those areas.

And while we're dreaming, I'd like a pony. How many 9 season shows do you know of? *NM* Ghavrel - 19/04/2011 06:30:44 AM 552 Views

The Sopranos and Lost were hugely successful, and they were both six seasons long. Ghavrel - 19/04/2011 06:13:06 PM 1125 Views
The X-Files went nine seasons. But it was cheap to make. Werthead - 20/04/2011 01:51:23 AM 1249 Views

Hmm, I think American Gods might translate well onto screen. I hadn't heard of that yet The Count - 21/04/2011 06:31:21 PM 1283 Views
Is this post still on the books board? How odd. *NM* jh - 21/04/2011 10:45:09 PM 599 Views
Seems so, sorry it's in the wrong place. *NM* MalkierKnight - 22/04/2011 12:06:15 AM 624 Views
I left it here because it brings up several different book series. *NM* Rebekah - 16/05/2011 06:06:43 PM 556 Views
