Studio Shannara Franchise on its Way?

OMFG!!!

I have been waiting to see a post liek this for YEARS!!!!!!

This is fucking fantastic! Ive read every Terry Brooks book ever written, and you are absolutely right, with each movie comes a new generation, so you dont have to sign up actors for extended periods of time, withc the exception of a few Allanon, the River Master, and a few others, but the main characters are always different decendants.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS NEWS, just made my year!!!!

Also as a side note, this isn't the first Terry Brooks series to be optioned. Magic Kingdom For Sale, SOLD! was recently purchased by Stephen Sommers (I think, which ever guy did the Mummy movies) and I have been really disappointed with it because from what Ive heard they are making drastic changes from the books, but Terry seems to think they're not that bad, he's just happy its being made, as he has always wanted to have his books made into films.

Fuck Im jazzed about this!!!

Been looking forward to the animated chronicles too, Keifer Sutherland is voiceing Raistlin and word is he has been taking it really seriously, making sure he is saying the magic phrases and spels spot on, really happy to hear about that kind of dedication, because over all Chronicles is one of the best fantasy series EVER, and hopefully the animated films are just the beggining, because it really deserves a live action treatment as well, maybe the Shannara deal will set that in motion.

Happy times being a 30 something nerd.
