Dragonmount had the following to say on twitter: 

 

Spoke to some ppl about the WoT TV deal. Red Eagle is not creativity involved in the show. They retain electronic game rights though. Our understanding is Red Eagle will be listed as Executive Producers on the TV show but not be otherwise involved in that production.

Cause he was looking at her boobs and not really listening to what she was saying?

Narg says you talk sense, but that doesn't match what Harriet said which the studio approved. So either she was monumentally mislead or something has gone awry.

Depends on what is in the contract. The studio may not even be obligated to tell her it's been shelved.

Has anyone any ideas, why there are no new announcements regarding the tv show? I am not quite sure, if this is a bad sign, but I hope it isn't...

The more time that goes by with silence, Narg thinks something along the lines of this becomes more likely. 

Bandersnatch needs to leak something given they have officially been gagged. All the hype, excitement and good will is rapidly dying if not dead already. Put the onus on who ever bought the rights. They've left Harriet holding a big bag of poo. Though I guess if they also left her a big pile of money she probably doesn't care that much.

Narg thinks you were dreaming or confusing fan speculation..... Pretty sure it would be all over the internet if anything like that was even semi officially announced.

If the silence continues past Jordancon, Narg thinks it's not going to happen and it's been shelved.

Oh and Cindy, you can't be more definitive than "Will be a cutting edge tv series". Other than saying an air date that is :)

1. It makes more sense. the whole Shara thing was crud anyway.

Nargs head hurts.

Wtf is BFG?

Bidding? Huh?

?

Happy New Year! Where’s our TV show?

CW could do a fun, lightweight version of WoT: The 100 is a decent show that doesn't hold back on ruthlessness, character deaths or difficult storylines. But it is very much an exception and you'd lose the opportunity to do a decent version of WoT elsewhere.

 

Based on the negotiations that were underway with Sony, my guess would be that Sony has bought the rights and would be discussing the project with AMC (their partner on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul). Amazon I think would be very interested as they likely want a tentpole fantasy series. Amazon have also had a massive upheaval in the way their shows are bought and operate recently, which has put a lot of projects on hold, which would also go some way to explaining the long delay since there was any news.

There is the possibility that the deal was with Sony Starz and lionsgate taking over Starz just a month after Harriet's announcement put a hold on anything being announced and lionsgate then decided to shelve WoT in favour of there Kingkiller project.

We can probably pretty much rule out Starz as the channel it will air on. Lionsgate bought them in June and they are pushing ahead with movies and a tv show spinoff of Rothfuss' King Killer Cronicles.

So if we count out HBO as well, that leaves AMC, Fox, CW, Amazon and Netflix as channels.

Oh, and the penises, lets make this adult or not at all.

 

 

Not that, I already said many times, not porn, that's not what it is, just adult, it will have people thinking, and so have the penises. Not exactly European cinema history, but anyone who knows film will know I mean what I mean and will know what I don't mean.

That you have a penis fetish?
