Eye of the World miniseries!



According to Wikipedia:

In a 2000 chat on CNN.com, Robert Jordan mentioned that NBC had purchased an option to do a miniseries of The Eye of the World. But he expressed doubts that the series would be made stating "key people involved in getting that contract together have left NBC."

On 12 August 2008, Variety reported that Universal Pictures had optioned the rights to produce feature film adaptations of The Wheel of Time books. They plan to adapt The Eye of the World as the first film.

Theres an IMDB page listed...no info on it as of yet. But still...pretty cool!

2012...Not quite the end of the world


Looks like 2012 will be a banner year for reasons other than ancient Mayan prophecies...

The Hobbit...Star trek 2 (or should that be Star Trek 12?)...and lets not forget the remake of Dune, which hopefully atone for the WTFWT of the last time David Lunch had a go at it...(which isn't to say his version isn't awesome/. But it took some many liberties with the text, it ended up being something very different....

Here's an article that explains it all in fascinating detail....

Sleepy Metal Inspiration


I’ve always found good music to be quite conducive to the writing process. And for me, the heavier the better. Metal is to fantasy what rum is to Red Bull…not strictly necessary, but it kicks it up a notch…the cover art on most albums is itself a source of pure inspiration…

At the moment my subgenre of choice is stoner/doom metal, specifically the stuff that cae out of the Southern California scene during the mid to late nineties. The band that stands out above all others: Sleep, which deserve their own place in rock history for having the guts to make an album, “Dopesmoker,” (it’s called stoner metal for a reason…..) consisting of one song….70+ minutes long. The record company, lacking ANY imagination, rejected it out of hand, calling it unmarketable. Today it’s considered a classic. (After the inevitable breakup, member went on to form High on Fire…about which too much can never be said….)

Have a dose…what’s not to like?
