[Nikonis]

 

Durring JordanCon, Harriet made a teaser announcement:

 

 

Harriet: Please check http://Dragonmount.com  or our Google+ page around Wednesday for an announcement about the future of The Wheel of Time

 

Then yesterday, it was said she would need another day or two to prepare the announcement... Well, Harriet announced that news would soon be coming and here it is...

 

Announcement

The following is a press statement that has been approved by the studio involved in contract negotiations:

Update: Wanted to share with you exciting news about The Wheel of Time. Legal issues have been resolved. The Wheel of Time will become a cutting edge TV series! I couldn’t be more pleased. Look for the official announcement coming soon from a major studio —Harriet

So open the floodgates and be ready, I would guess that once the news spreads, and again when the show aires, we may be in for a nice flood of new and/or returning members to the site!

This will be amazing

This is exciting news!

I don´t know. I have a lot of fears. I didn´t watch LotR for many years since I was afraid it would ruin my mental images of the characters. (And I knew they would fail with the elves.) I don´t have the same feelings for WoT, but almost. What if they pick the wrong actors, what if they make silly myrdraals, what if they fail with the weaves..?

 

But of course I´m going to watch it. :)

Then they will follow suit with any time someone tries to go from book to movie.

 

Visual effects and scripted screenplay will never compare to imagination.

 

Doesn't make it any less awesome.

[Eldrick4221]

Although that does make the op kinda fitting.

 

Is this real good news, or is it professor's "good news"?

If Harriet's working with the producers, I trust it will go all right.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I doubt at this point whether there has even been a deal brokered with any producers and I would expect the producers of any potential adaptations to use their own scriptwriters etc.

 

I would guess the announcement was made that a deal

had been negotiated to get the rights away from red eagle. we

will see I guess.

I saw this in the Tor newsletter!

 

I have lots of fears too but I'm also very excited. With the popularity if GoT, and Shannara getting a show I was really hoping they'd get the rights back and get something going.

 

I'm going to watch it no matter what though; I'm sure it will have its flaws but hopefully also will have a lot of positive points.

 

I think it would cause a boom of activity here too, though people would have to be very careful of spoilers.

One can only hope.

[Talmanes]

I think it will be likely. It will probably get more people interested in the series and also rekindle past members desire for WoT.
