Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time on the Bigscreen?

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

Universal Pictures has just picked up the film rights to adapt Robert Jordan’s bestselling The Wheel of Time series for some big money. The series has 11 huge books, but if you cut down on all the characters traveling, there would be only 3. I’m kidding. It actually would be an interesting thing to see on the big screen.

Adaptations of the fantasy tomes will begin with the first book in the cycle, “The Eye of the World.”

Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon will produce for Red Eagle Entertainment, which published graphic novel adaptations of Jordan’s books.

“The Wheel of Time” follows, among its dozens of characters, Rand al’Thor, the latest incarnation of a force for good called “The Dragon.” Rand is born to fight an evil character called Shai’tan.

“Wheel of Time” books have sold 44 million copies worldwide and spawned computer, trading-card and role-playing games; a soundtrack; comicbooks; and numerous fan sites. The four most recent installments have reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

I guess we’ll see what happens. It will take years and years to work everything out I’m sure.
