Terry Brooks

[TiredOfLife]

You've talked about Terry Brooks' Shannara series before, and I've been meaning to read it. But still never got around to it. I will one day, promise.

Did you start on A Song of Ice and Fire yet though? I remember you promising that!

On the note of making movies out of books, that Song of Ice and Fire is going to be turned into a TV series. And not a miniseries, but full seasons where one season will equal one book. And even then they may have trouble including it all. This one could turn out to be pretty good, and the author promises that it will. The producers are fans of the books apparently, and want to make it very faithful. The author George R R Martin posted about it himself on his newspage.

Is there any date for this to arrive?

I haven't heard anything more about it. I follow Martin's blog (not the same as the previous link) but he hasn't mentioned anything about it in a while. But when I posted about it back then, the news was very recent. And at that point they had only just made the deal to make it. He said then that there was now a whole lot of work to be done in pre-production and such, and that it would probably take almost a year before they'd start actually shooting it. So I guess it'll start airing sometime next year at the earliest. IMDb has a page up for it, but you need to be a Pro member there to see the details right now. But the entry is tagged '2008', at least.

It is still being made though, I'm sure. Martin would definitely have talked about it on his blog there if it wasn't.
