Just finished a scene in A Memory of Light that ranks among the most visually powerful I’ve ever done. I REALLY want to see this one in film form.
A lot of questions about the WoT film rights. Universal has the rights. Maybe I should have phrased my last tweet as…
“Dear Universal, please do a good job on the first WoT movie, because you really, REALLY need to get to book 14 and do this scene.”
I don’t know how far off the WoT film is. The screenwriters produced a new draft of the script a few weeks back. I have not read it.
I would love to see a Wheel of Time movie series or TV miniseries. Has anyone optioned that you can mention?
Universal has the rights. Not an option, but a full buy-out.
Just out of curiosity would you prefer WoT to be a film series or a TV series a la Game of Thrones ? Also keep up the great work.
I would prefer television.
Do you know if the film is going to be super-long like the Lord of the Rings movies, split in parts like Harry Potter or something …
…else? Also, thank you for finishing WoT! I really, really like the books you’ve written, they’re excellent!
By that I mean the WoT books. I like the other books too (especially Mistborn), but not as much as WoT.
Thanks for reading! The plan now is one film that covers Eye of the World , and will be somewhat long.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be working integrally with the screenwriter, I hope they realize that this isn’t a movie…
…that they can just pump out. They need to do an amazing job or not waste their time.
I’m hoping they will let me comment on the screenplay, but so far, I’ve been kind of busy with A Memory of Light …
I haven’t read WOT but these A Memory of Light Tweets are making me want to check it out! I’ve not read any of Jordan’s work. Thoughts?
I love the WoT, and have for many years. It is a long journey, however, so be warned.
When is A Memory of Light out; I thought January, but I’ve heard its been put back?
Gah,this is unacceptable!! You’ve already delayed this once!!
Not much I can do, I’m afraid. I’m turning it in on time; the date is being set by the publisher.
Okay, that scene is done. Now I have a few quick, one-shot viewpoints to do. People you may not expect.
Do we get a Dark One PoV? Is that question an auto-RAFO?
RAFO, of course. :)
