One of my favorite fantasy book series is being made into a TV series.
This November the first book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, "Wizard's first Rule" will air as an ongoing series. And if it does well, we can expect the series continue on through the other books.
I can't say the show's title has me dancing with joy. While "Legend of the Seeker" is an accurate description, I'm not sure why they didn't use the already well know "Sword of Truth" that the book series is known under the world over. Originally the show was to be called "Wizard's first Rule", but as it's an ongoing series (hopefully), I can see why they didn't want to change it each season.
Show titles aside, the main point of my post is to let those of you that may not already know that the first trailer for the series is out.
Overall I'd say it looks pretty good, and has me excited. The production values look to be fairly decent from what was shown. As always with books transitioning to movies or TV some of the characters don't look like you may have imagined while reading, but for the most part they look pretty close. My only complaint is that Zedd looks a bit young, but I suppose that could be explained away as a wizardy thing.
Keeping my fingers crossed for November 1st.
Check out the show's official website for more info.
