View original post Sony Will Bring The Wheel of Time to TV


View original postIs the long, weird saga of Wheel of Time’s journey to television is seemingly over? After that bizarro pilot that lead to legal troubles and the final but very vague announcement the legendary fantasy series would come to TV properly after all, we now know it’ll be Sony who will be responsible for bringing Robert Jordan’s world to life.


View original postVariety reports that Sony will be adapting the 14-novel series in a deal with Red Eagle Entertainment and Radar Pictures, while Rafe Judkins, who has credits on Agents of SHIELD, Chuck, and Hemlock Grove, will write and produce. This is the first update since roughly this time last year when Jordan’s widow, Harriet McDougal, confirmed that the series had landed at “a major studio.”


View original postOne hard part of the series’ journey to TV may be over, but the monumental task of bringing this sprawling epic to life on the small screen is just beginning. God knows how long it’ll be until we start to see the fruits of Sony’s labor, but we’ll bring you more on the Wheel of Time TV series when we learn it.


View original post It's such a part of my life and has been for 22 years now that seeing any depictions of it are beyond frightening. I wonder if animated would be better than live action. Time will tell which way they go and which network it gets to, if any.

I have a lot of love for 1-4ish, which we have to watch before we get to the parts I dislike. nossy - 22/04/2017 08:38:39 PM 845 Views
I stand by the assertion that 1-6 were great reads. Tom - 23/04/2017 12:32:34 AM 913 Views
They've rewritten aSoIaF and people have been generally happy. Maybe they'd be okay with this. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/04/2017 05:06:42 AM 458 Views

If Harriett is involved or has a veto we know the series is doomed to failure. Tom - 24/04/2017 03:30:35 PM 840 Views
It really could go either way.... Jeordam - 20/04/2017 10:43:51 PM 928 Views

Yeah, the lack of tits and ass will make it a hard sell (cross-pun intended) *NM* Tom - 25/04/2017 09:40:47 PM 535 Views
If it's good it'll be nice to watch, but can't say I'm that excited about it. Legolas - 20/04/2017 11:22:50 PM 889 Views
