Legend of the Seeker: Sword of Truth now on TV
October 30, 2008
Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series has been made into a television show, airing in the US this weekend. I don’t see plans for it to air in Australia any time soon … but if you happen to be in the US well … and if not, there’s a 10-minute trailer on the website: www.legendoftheseeker.com
The first book in the Sword of Truth series is Wizard’s First Rule, and the final book (yes, finally a finished fantasy series!), which came out at the end of last year, is Confessor.
Despite some of my personal disappoints in the series, the show makes up for it in a hot cast
I liked the whole series and I must say that with all the previews I have seen of this its going to be a hit. The cast of the Legend of the Seeker is very good. I think that Zed is the actor from the Mad Max film if I am not mistaken, if I am then I’ll eat my words.
The cast IS good – so lets hope we get this in Oz soon. I must admit, I went off the books after a while – but they may remedy some of the things that I didn’t like in a tv series … I hope.
This airs today folks. Can’t believe Nov. 1 is finally here.
If everyone watches in the US, then that means it will reach places like Oz sooner. We will do our best.
Today!
the only thing resembling the books is that they got the names right. beyond that they ruined it.
Steve, would like to hear more about why you think it is ruined? Was it not an accurate depiction of the story?
For one… Richard doesn’t have the Book of Counted Shadows memorized… he’s never even heard of it before! And most importantly… TRUTH is not written on the hilt! It’s engraved on the sword. How is Richard supposed to get his “truth” imprint when grasping the sword?!
Yeah, from what I have seen it is a pretty poor recount of the story. Zedd is thousands of years old. Richards dad is still alive in the first episode atleast. A member of the quad survives the battle with Richard and Kahlan. How many more things are they going to get wrong, I mean, are they even going to make Richard a wizard, or send him to the palace of the prophets? Do they go to the Mud People? Tell me that isn’t an important piece of the story line.
