One of the fantasy series I have enjoyed reading is Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series. Well I read today that Sam Raimi (director of Spiderman I-III as well as producer of Xena and Hercules) in partnership with Disney/ABC is going to executive produce a weekly television series based on the books! Very cool (possibly very uncool if it is done poorly). Raimi’s got boatloads of experience so hopefully his will be successful. It’s due to premiere in Fall 2008. More info here:
