You've never heard my rendition of Turtle Dove (Ralph Vaughan Williams)

:)

you're the only person whose mentioned it afaik and I don't see any objective evidence to support that. if they're looking to this guy for a bankroll we're never seeing this show.

 

none of us need convincing of how wonderful anyone involved in this project might be. it's irrelevant.

 

this is the fan base, this audience is already in the bag. anything that gets produce will get watched by the people here. it's the rest of the world that will need impressing. and that won't happen until there's actually a product so..,

I mentioned it after seeing it in articles, posts, news alerts and main page headlines on this site. Saying I'm the only one who mentioned it is incorrect. Sony would not have publisiced them acting as producier if they were not signed up as producers. That does not guarantee the show will get made; it merely indicates there are producers attached to it. I'd have thought this was self evident yet here I am pointing it out to you. 

The 'evidence' you seek is in the news posts described above, where it mentioned by name those who would be producing this show.

I made no attempt to portray anyone as wonderful; that was your own interpretation. I think most people will be content to trust in the outcome and see what transpires during the show's production and I do count myself among those (for future reference). 

 

 

Ted field and radar pictures are known, recidivist, convicted frauds. Ted had lost suits over his Ponzi schemes on projects like

Jumanji and is in litigation over others as we speak.

his wiki page was suddenly updated to make it seem as if he was legit several days ago when the latest announcement on the tv series was released.

he is respected by no one. the best that can be hoped for is that the damage he does is kept in check.

 

Wouldn't have thought it mattered if he was a good boy scout and can perform the requisite Hail Mary's. 

 

What should matter here is having deep pockets which, as he's still strongly affiliated to Sony, he seems to have.

He only has what he steals. He blew through the money he inherited and moved on to theft and fraud,

 

It's not like he's changed his ways. He's in ongoing litigations for the same things.

 

He was a poor choice, as bad as red eagle, and it makes me really wonder what kind of legal advice the estate gets.

 

Not sure how being affiliated with Sony means anything, or he the supposed depth of his pockets changes the fact that he's a con man but whatever.

 

As mentioned already, he can provide the financial backing for the project to succeed and even get off the ground.

Well, it looks that Sony has Justified ("it is probably worth $35 million to $45 million") and Outlander ($64 million) as their most expensive shows. Am I right?

People in this thread don't seem to realise that GRRM is a top-notch editor and screenplay artist. You don't need to enjoy his books, writing or abilities to appreciate the experience he has in adapting fantasy books for the TV screen...

 

He's probably the best in the world at that today. 

 

Also, a WoT TV series might have more in common with a Napoleonic series than a LoTR or GoT series...

 

This. TV is a different medium than books, so writing style doesn't have a lot to do with the end result.

 

That said, I'd not mind if they skipped him when it comes to WoT. He already has too many things on his plate and I'd like to see the series finished someday, even though my enjoyment of it has waned significantly since the first book.

 

I think WoT has quite the potential to be a good series, but its success will owe to more than one element in the whole process :)

 

Agreed. 

He would definitely do it properly, though. :p

Where has he done this outside of aSoIaF?

 

See above; also mentioned in the link is that he's been writing for TV since 1984.

Get George R.R. Martin (or his crew) to help with the screenplays.
