An Aside | Terry Goodkind’s ‘Legend of the Seeker’
Asides29 Comments »More info about the Television mini-series based on Terry Goodkind’s fantasy series Sword of Truth.
From Suvudu:
Terry Goodkind, the author of the bestselling The Sword of Truth series, visited Comic-Con today with director Sam Raimi and those who produced the television shows Xena and Hercules. Together as a panel, they laid out their plans for adapting Wizard’s First Rule into a 22-episode season to air on ABC via Disney.
I will be posting a lot more news on this in the forthcoming days, but I wanted to share with Goodkind fans that the name of the ABC series is Legend of the Seeker and it will begin November 1, 2008. Richard Cypher and Kahlen have been cast, but today Sam Raimi announced the casting of Zedd. The actor playing the wizard Zedd is Bruce Spence, who had minor roles in LOTR: Return of the King and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith but who has decades of acting experience.
I have to admit that I’m disappointed (and a little surprised) that Goodkind himself didn’t demand the lead role. He does have his work cut out for himself though, convincing everyone that it’s not a fantasy mini-series won’t be easy!
