The Wheel of Time series-Fan trailer

[Nannerz12]

To really get all of the detail and smaller parts that are necessary to the later parts of the books, each book would truly need probably a couple 3 hour movies...at least.

[gleeloverjo]

great video !! look like a real trailer

[luciferallheart]

very well-made fan-trailer, nice choice of music and the scenes are very good as well. the only thing i can say about it is that most of the clips you have selected are battle scenes, while the book series has relatively little actual fights going on, especially on large scales. still, very well done.

[AnimeWatcherMan1]

Oops. Didn't read the description. You said which movies you used. My bad.

[AnimeWatcherMan1]

Ok. But I picked out parts from Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Troy. Need to make it a bit less obvious guys but still a good attempt.

[JaimieKrycho]

I like your casting decisions, actually! Usually, I don't agree with my fellow WoT-fan friends when we talk about it, so I'm surprised. Josh Hartnett fits my idea of Rand well. Jonathan Jackson is a good choice, and Catherine Zeta-Jones works well, even though I never would have thought of her myself. I don't think Clive Owen looks hard-edged enough for Lan.

[rockhound694u]

The only way it would work is to have each book made in to a 3hour movie. But I would be ok with that.

[ForzaAquila]

i agree with the first 3 actors but the rest just don't fit especially clive owen.

[Shreddur666]

@ForzaAquila clive owen actually might make a good hawking

[bellaKohler]

A MOVIE!?!?!?!!! >>hyperactive<<

that would be SOO awesome :3 I hope they do it well, then I'd love it. I thought they saw it to be a to big challenge!

[pubisboy]

I think Holly Marie Combs would be a perfect Nynaeve.

[sandeloro]

I think that is an exelent compilation!!!!!

[bbbtwilley]

Tommy Lee Jones - Mazrim Taim, thom merrilin

Christian Bale - Elyas Machera

Steve Buscemi - Taim, Logaine, Padan Fain

Clooney or Crowe - Moridin

Crowe or Depp could pull off Lews

[simnos1]

@bbbtwilley Logaine is described as a large, drak haired man. He also becomes a charasmatic figure in the later books, so I don't think Buscemi fits.

[bbbtwilley]

CONT ... rachel weiz - Forsaken, Aes Sedai brandon fraizer (or Ryan Reynolds, matt damon) - Warder, or Gawyn, or Gareth (fraizer or Reynolds) - a good Lan Alfred molina - borderland general, Logain Luis Guzmán - Sea Folk captain, or Bashere Emmanuelle Chriqui - Moiraine Damodred. christian bale - Forsaken Connie Nielsen - Aes Sedai Clive owen + Ben affleck- Whitecloak captain, warder, Don Cheadle - Sea Folk captain, arad damon general director : pete jackson, ridley scott, wachowski bros

[bbbtwilley]

slight change.... i'd swap Emmanuelle Chriqui - to daughter of nine moons and use Keira knightly as Min further: alicia keys - main Aiel warrior emmy rossum - could pull off Egwene as you said. but i'd keep looking Nynaeve al'Meara - Helena Bonham Carter Orlando Bloom - main warder, main Ashaman Viggo Mortensen - warder, also Lan, Ashaman Angelina jolie - Lanfear, Moghedien, Morgase Trakand one things for certain, lots of CGI and lots of cheap, newbie actors as supporting cast

[bbbtwilley]

CONT... patrick stewart - ? one of the main wetlander Generals johnny depp (or Joaquin Phoenix) - good for Perrin (or the #1 Forsaken) casey affleck - a good perrin Simon pegg (or Shia LaBeouf, Justin Long) - a good Mat! anthony hopkins - ? Dark One ? Tilda Swinton - Elaida keira knightly - daughter of nine moons charlize theron - Avienda amber valetta - ? kate becksdale - a better Trakand jonathon stratham - a Forsaken keanu reeves - Rand ? (basing this from Constantine) CONT....

[bbbtwilley]

CONT....

dude, did you even read the book(s) ?! or care enough to formulate a better main cast ?

i'd have to admit. WoT has a lot of supporting, but important characters that lasts thru entire WoT books. not sure how much Universal is will to pay for how many A-listers.

just throwing a few out:

emma thompson - Cadsuane

johnny depp (or Joaquin Phoenix) - good for Perrin (or the #1 Forsaken)

casey affleck - a good perrin

Simon pegg (or Shia LaBeouf, Justin Long) - a good Mat!

CONT....

[bbbtwilley]

Rand Al'Thor- Josh Hartnett - not bad. tall, well build. i'd keep looking tho

Perrin Aybara- Paul Telfer - who ? (i'd use johnny depp)

Mat Cauthon- Jonathan Jackson - who ?

Moiraine Damodred- Catherine Zeta-Jones - LMAO. moira is about 5'0 in the book. zeta-jones is 5'8. you plan to shrink her ?

al'Lan Mandragoran- Clive Owen - . not tall/big enough

Nynaeve al'Meara- Kate Beckinsale - LMAO. not even close

Egwene al'Vere- Emmy Rossum - meh

Elayne Trakand- (Forgot her name. If you saw Hercules

[cailliefelix]

Wonderful! *________*

I love it

[dlsbol]

So I've been working on a script for a movie trailer for the Eye of the World... It's ridiculous, because any direction I go, I find financial troubles. I have an idea of how I'd like the trailer to look. Minor introductions of characters, a flourish or two from Thom. I even have some pretty talented folks who want to step in... But I was wondering, does anyone know a cheap way to finance burning villages, trolloc costumes, etc... I may have to cut these. It will be good or I won't do it.

[jb1858]

I love that you have to take every awesome scene from every epic war movie ever to even consider makeing this trailer. If they do make the movie, I hope they dont leave toomuch out

[UryuIshada]

amazing, even though I'm on book 5

[ValaSedai]

and even after watching it the hundredth time this trailer still gives me goosebumps

[Jarrett0101]

I feel that Adrian Paul would make a great Lan. he already has sword skills so can save money there he's a choragrapgher so once again save money.and has the good looks to keep the ladies attention.

[abcdefghijklmao]

daniel craig for lan in my opinion but adrian paul would be better than a lot of suggestions i have seen for lan

[Tighe11Tighe11]

Who would play Rand, Mat and Perrin????

[haavar90]

star wars was 6 movies so why cant wheel of time be 6 or 13(3 hour movie). Much of the book can be cut down. I am at book 10 btw

[eamonnbowsie]

One of the main gripes with Robert Jordan as an author is he goes into wayyy too much detail about what a character is wearing,WE DONT CARE HOW MANY BUTTON ARE ON HIS SHIRT.Its still an excellent series though and ive spent sooooo many nights getting lost in the world of the wheel of time,im currently reading the 12th book thats just come out,great so far.

[marco12501]

I think this should be a TV Series

I mean we have 13 books (Counting 0) and 2 on the way (release date due late '10 and late '11)

One movie will take to complete almost a whole year (each book)

[rawmeatistasty]

ROFL 2:37 is from Narnia hahahahahaha

[TritoneMcgee]

Josh Hartnett as the Dragon Reborn? Seriously? There would be boycotting on a massive scale. lol

[IIemzyII]

For real I imagine more along the lines of craig horner from "legend of the seeker". What do you think?

[TritoneMcgee]

He's a little better than Hartnett, but I don't know. As The Wheel of Time goes on Rand grows into a really hard and commanding leader. Obviously the part would be played by a good looking guy, but that guy should have a rougher, more angular look.

Really this whole movie idea is a bad idea. I could see the first book being turned into a stand alone movie, but the whole series? No way. It's just on too grand a scale.

[2l03]

@TritoneMcgee Milo Ventimiglia would be a good match for Rand imo

[TritoneMcgee]

I had to google the name, and to me he looks too boyish. But to each his own.

[TheAshblood]

This book was so long... I just don't think they'll be able to make a good movie, there's so much to fit in. I just finished the 3rd book, and am desperately waiting for the library to deliver the copy of the 4th I requested. BTW, has anyone else heard this series is being made into video games, one of which will be an mmorpg?

[bellaKohler]

IS THERE GOING TO BE A MOVIE?!?! oh yea! this is GREAT news! i bet its almost impossible to achieve.. but still.

when we would wait a few years, till animation can fill up almost everything, is there a huge chance WOT is gone of ppls hearts and only the hardcore fans (like me ^^) would watch the movie.

the wheel weaves as the wheel wills, but still... but still i hope for an epic movie ^^

[RangeofMotion]

There's a film based on the first book in development but it would chop the Eye of the World to pieces to make something that was around 2-3 hours in length. I would almost rather see it as a TV series like The Sword of Truth or A Song of Ice and Fire.

[fcentauri8]

I'd prefer wheel of time movies to be in the style of James Cameron's "Avatar" as opposed to live action. Also with Michael Kramer and Kate Reading doing some of the voices.

[slayerruz]

You know what enough people have seen or read about wheel of time (WoT). you know what WoT has been around for yearspeople will be dieing to see it!!! after the initial cost of the first movie they would cover the next then the next and so on. so they better make it if not ...... i will leave what i will do 'if not' to ur imagination.

[stav9]

Reckon it would work in a manga style. Too many internal monologues for real-time action. Animating the "one power" could look really cool.

[maoristutuff]

Yeah turning it into a anime series would be ideal as you can seperate eachbook into like six eps each.then sell it to all the tv networks.

[Brilayah]

whats the anme of this song?

[vulgarmastermind]

it would kind of suck but yeah, the only way this could go down is if different actors played different books like tha batman films and then when it's all over people compare them.

As to where it should be filmed; New Zealand, obviously. We have such a variety of terrain and if it was really neccecary to find a blight we could just head over to australia although just off desert road in the middle of the north island would be perfect. fuck yeah. so many places for tear and illian etc.

[vulgarmastermind]

not to mention we have weta workshops. you know, the people who created gollum, a clear piece of pionering for the relms of CGI and film making in general.

[dlsbol]

Pretty good trailer, Was hoping to see who did the music. I too am working on a trailer for WOT: EotW. Mine will encompass raw footage shot by myself and fellow actors/director persons. I just hope we can make it happen.

As for making these into movies. I think it can be done, I just think it would have to be done in a mini-series format. Make each book into three segments. That would allow to capture ample detail.

Actors: Newer faces are better, with some big names. Better believability.

[primadonnasoprano]

Beckinsale, Rossum, and Zeta-Jones...perfect combo for the women!

[DanceTheSpears]

Well,I think we were all a little surprised at how good LOTR was. It wasn't perfect...but I feel it did the book justice and definately captured certain characters well...... Perhaps WOT will be as good?

[ReflectionOfDarkness]

Vin Diesel would make a good Lan (:.

[Wakeringgirl101]

and exacly how little of that was actually footage released by universal?

cant wait for it anyway

2011

[Dorkzandwenoit]

um i might be misunderstanding your question but the person said it was fan made....

or you can disregaurd me if im not understanding

[871335]

can't wait for the film, but i agree there's no way it can be any where near as good as the book but it'll still be awesome.i heard the news the same time as i heard the new book is coming out pretty soon (it's actualy split into three books cause there's too much stuff going on with moraine 'bout to be rescued though she was meant to be dead for the last five books and Tarmon Gaiden itself to happen in 1 book is too much and we'd have to wait even longer for the final thing)

[FFXTidus91]

i hate u im only on book 10 i didnt know moraine comes back damn u if ur gonna say shit like that at least warn people there is spoilers in what they're reading

PRICK

[rawmeatistasty]

OH WTF IM ON BOOK 10 TOO WAY TO RUIN IT... THANK YOU (not you FFXTidus91)

[mastrtonberry2]

The song is called Orchard of Mines by Globus

This is the instrumental version

[youdontknowmegigna]

i dont want this movie to turn into another "Clan of the Cave Bear" endeavor... where they took a really good book series, tried it out on the big screen, saw how poorly they did, and threw all ideas of sequels of the series out the window. hehe... just one's thoughts on the matter. WoT rocks!

[youdontknowmegigna]

gotta be honest, while i will most certainly watch the movie, id prefer if they didnt even try to make it... we can pretty much already guarantee the movie will suck balls compared to the books. (not to say it wont be a decent movie for what its worth...) but be honest, with the series being as large as it is...how can you possibly capture enuff of the essence of WoT to properly display it within an hour and a half? hopefuly if they do well enuff... multiple sequels? like three of four of five?

[mr95man]

you are right

[benNY12987]

Nice trailer. the wheel of time series is my all time favourite series of books, on the knife of dreams now, and the whole series is just epic. never has a book series had me so engrossed. hope the movies do it justice

[lololololopop]

what the name of the song?

[jeffhardyismychosen]

crappy trailer. i was expecting something from an actual series, not a bunch of clips from braveheart, arthur, lord of the rings and such. don't falsely dub things. it makes me mad.

[Pirategurl123]

that's why it's called a "fan" trailer

[SuperHeroMania]

@jeffhardyismychosen Excuse me? LOL, what were you expecting?

[blikbladae2]

wtf make it a movie and a mmorpg, it is such a better fantasy epic than anything, lotr, worthless warcraft.

[themoggetchild]

the LotR clips a 1:28 ish are from RotK...not TTT

[therush1892]

You know what's the worst possible idea? Making a WoT move. I agree with the previous posters. It would fail on so many levels. Would the movies even make sense due to all that would be cut out?

[oriongazer52]

hey, could you please tell me the name of this audio track? its amazing.. thanks

[RighteousProd]

Well, to make a movie on even one of the books in the series would be EPIC FAIL even if Peter Jackson (who created the Lord of the rings movies if you didn't know) would do it, 'cuz it would only ruin the greatness of the books!!!!!

[whuutdaFUQ]

Any attempt to recreate WoT into a movie would be an EPIC FAIL. The character development would be rushed and Robert Jordan's vivid world would be mutilated into a CGI joke fest.

Please don't ruin one of the best literary masterpieces of all-time.

[avuge77]

I agree, look at Lord of the Rings.

[benNY12987]

for me, lord of the rings one of the few films adapted from a book that did justify the book series. that and of mice and men.

[5amb1]

Don't get me wrong, I like WoT --they're great, entertaining books, but I don't think anyone could call them "the best literary masterpieces of all-time"...

[elscoles]

whats the name of the audio that is used?

[foxwoodfaerie]

You did an amazing job putting this together. Great clips and perfect music. If only they could pull this off as well as you did the trailer!

[bigrecord]

Agreed. I think that the lord of the rings movies were phenominal, but they did have to go with the bare minimum to fit it in a movie format.

There is a certain way the Wheel of Time would need to be done, and I think it is too soon after the series is done to even think about a movie. These stories must be studied for decades to work out a screenplay that wouldnt be full of inconsistencies.

Like the HP movies, which by the way, were the palest shadow of a reflection next to the books.

[IKeepAComputerInMyOv]

thats exactly what they said about lord of the rings..no?...well u never know i think its possible ^^

[Xellith]

in lord of the rings they skipped like 80% of the books storyline so they could fit it into 9 hours of film.. FAIL

They wanted 1 movie per book - but this was retarded given how long and detailed the books are.  Shoulda had two movies per book and then that woulda been barely enough.

[zone555]

I think that no director, actor or writer ever could make a good movie out of the wheel of time series, and i hope they never try! The Eragon movie was the worst movie I ever saw, and I was really lookin foreward to that movie too...Let us pray that they dont ruin the best books of all time...

[HeWhoIsEpiclyAwesome]

They should totally make it into a tv series!!! Each season a book :)

[TILLUNDSABRINA]

perfect cast

[redrat19851985]

If they are going to adapt it - they should make it into a tv series - Say 1 hour episode for every half of a book. That way theyr will have 24 episodes (and they will stillbe hard pressed to fit everything in lol0

[nepoi]

have many films are they gone make. I hope they don`t comprimet and cut out to much!

[masterwin1779]

Ah the wolf was from Narnia and i saw parts of LOTR 3 and King Artur. This is the best fan made clip i have ever seen. Good choice for music and movie parts.

[theshadowlies5]

i nearly jumped off my seat when i saw the wolf. awesome vid

[Ironfistconsumerist]

If they make it into a movie it would miss almost half of the book and be like eragon(horrible movie). I agree it should be a tv series.

[ricklion1982]

hbo would probably be able to make a good series out of it, they have already aquired the rights and are making george r r martin's "a song of ice and fire" series which will consist of 7 seasons one for each book. if this works it would be intresting to see them make the wheel of time

[nagelhautentferner]

I really hope that they'll NOT make a movie out of it.I love the series so much,it would ruin so much,they could never do the books justice.someone said that it'd be possible to fit the plot in a movie because much takes place in people's heads,but if all that was left out...that'd be terrible!it's such an important part and just so very well done,that that alone would leave the whole project unfinished,just..incomplete

but you did a good job on this video and I really liked the music for it

[Raistlink345]

I think the movies will be good. Sure the books are long, but how much of it takes place in the character's head? Can't exactly put that in a movie unless you want corny voice overs ever scene

[okeys7]

im agreeing with wisdom walker on this one. if they did a feature film they would have to cut so much plot that it would end up terrible (golden compass) or too brief (harry potter). mini series or anime perhaps?

[yourfisharemine]

@okeys7

actually if you look back on it nothing really happens. Most of the books is internal feeling which can been shown in a brief second.

So the major problem rather than fitting all that happens is to correctly portray such mute characters.

[Timmujin]

@yourfisharemine And how to portray the OP when it's only visible to channellers. It would have to be POV all the time unless you changes some pretty basic things about the story.

[Shreddur666]

@okeys7 they could do it like lord of the rings, that was a good movie, even with all that they had to cut

[DjTompa011]

omg this is awesome, I've read all the books, including the english ones (from sweden, please be pacient with me) and OMFG if they are going to make a movie about it, I'm so gonna get them!! But, since there are alot of books and pages and etc, they'd have to cut out alot, eh? like they did with Eragon and the newest Harry Potter movies? Good Lord, I hope they really pull this of!! it would be so freaking awesome!

[sakamoto70]

It's only a collage

[Wisdomwalker]

The only real way to visually tell this epic tale and truly do the books any kind of justice is to do it in Anime form. And it would have to be an Anime show with the same type of longevity episode wise as shows like Naruto and Bleach.

[ValaSedai]

I thought about that too. An anime with an adult design would be awesome, but it's not likely to happen...

[ValaSedai]

Aaaaaaaweeesome!!!

And Zeta Jones as Moiraine would fit perfectly!! As would Beckinsale for Nynaeve. :)

[gmlanmor]

Good Trailer man. Good work.

By the way, It is true that series will be made soon?

[qazxswec500]

omg you had me going for a sec till I expanded the information.. still yeah SKFD86 you're totally right it is like a brother huh?

If they do make a series of this.. the WHOLE series.. peter jackson shouldn't direct it because it'll just be another lord of the rings.. but hayden christienson FUCK YEAH would play a sick rand I cant believe I never thought of that, lol.

Awesome.

[SKFD68]

Its a good video... but the making of one of Americas few EPICS (12 books all between 600-1000) pages will be monumental. Like 10,000 watchmen. I love the series like a second brother. I need to see it done well

BTW: Rand=Hayden Christienson

[GilraenPalantir]

is the music from some kind of movie? i dont remember...

[dalailama92]

please.. not Ewan McGregor as rand.. really hate that guy..

[hamms4104]

two words scott bacula

he should play everyone

[GilraenPalantir]

it's a great vid! and the music is great, too. i've just started rereading the entire series, they're great. and i also love thinking of who could play who ^_^

[loezzja]

Yeah, it's going to be hard to make this movie, but if you cut the book in descripings and important parts, you keep half the book i guess.

It would be a nice challenge.

Won't it?

Nice vid.

[orcak89]

But who will be Elyas? Min? (wait is Min in the first book?)Thom? Logain? the Green Man?

I liked it but I still haven;t warmed up to the idea of a movie of WoT. Granted that a lot of the book space was dedicated to description...it's still an enormous undertaking and few can pull it off.

I read somewhere that there are like 13,000 named characters in the books.

[LupisNero]

It is going to be so hard to make these movies...The book is so long, they'd have to cut alot out of the movie to lwoer it to around two hours. And we can't have that ,can we?

Yeah, well...I'm not saying I don't want a movie. I'm just saying that I don't know if it will work. The actors will have to sacrifice eight or nine years of their life to film ALL of them (If they choose to do that), plus if they make it into a 3 1/2 hour movie it will take more time to get locations set up and such.

[Marines219838]

I think Mark Wahlberg could be a good choice, or Ewan McGregor for Rand. As for Elayne I think Miranda Otto, would do well.

[thrawnkkar]

It was announced its been optioned with Paramount if I remember correctly by Red Eagle Entertainment. The movies are in pre-production, if I remember right they said they will make the first book into a movie and see what the responce is for sequels. It would be easy to make the first book into a 2 nad a half hour movie. Look at the LoTRs.

[Lady0Lela0the2nd]

Ugh,, clips from Braveheart... grrr...

[DesertFoxKG]

Nice job!

[thek1ller1sme]

Rand is a red head...

[Marines219838]

Not so much, he has like reddish blonde hair, especially on the covers, his hair is blonde, I don't really care though:P

[zenninbor]

so ummm why do u think this has to do with anything of the wheel of time? its just clips of other movies of the past.......

[hurlyn88]

I can't think of who you are thinking of from Hercules, but most of those actresses would be too old for the part by now. Kate Beckinsale is too "cute" to play Nyneave, I can't see her with the "temper" that Nyneave has, it's just not her style.

[kgunitkeese17]

i dunno who should play Rand but i hope it would not be hartnett. no offense to u hartnett fans but he just doesn't have the look of a hard character. i dunno who could play him. zeta jones is the best for moiraine, she had the look of calm on her face. i didn't see elayne, where was she?

[deadlightsx]

Rupert grint for Rand!!! hahaha :D

[JasonNightingale]

Viggo Mortens should hav been al'Lan Mandragoran, but that's just a minor note.

Thumbs up!

[XBillums]

For sure.

[MaximForLife]

There is only one true Lan, and his name is Dwayne Johnson.

[xandernucleus]

you are so right, im phsyched for kate backinsale tho.... maybe shell WTFPWN everyone with her vampirish hotness

[MaximForLife]

I have somebody excellent for Kate Beckinsale to play, but it's nobody mentioned so far.

[statementz]

I think that Sophie Marceau would be a good Nynaeve. She had that long braid in Braveheart and I always pictured Nynaeve looking like her.

[SejalX]

Hugh Jackman would make a good Lan

[SejalX]

anyone notice that the wolf is the same one from narnia and looking at Mr. Tomnas's house? looooool

[tomea]

anyone has any information about cast and crew about the movie?

[OptimusAlex]

i thought kelsey grammar would make a good Loail, if they did the make-up right. lol just a thought

[masterwin1779]

nice one everything in brown. i do hope thatthe movie they will make will be something like LOTR i think it will be possibleto make an movie of ''the eye of the world'' but they will have to short a lot of things.

[krashly71]

Absolutely never ever would this series work as movies as each BOOK would have to be 2-3 movies to be done correctly and there are MANY books, and TV would never have the budget. I hope this is never, ever adapted for screen...NEVER! Dont touch it!

[walsh1916]

Are you serious? Jordan's writing style was incredibly descriptive, a bit too much at times I believe. More than half of each book is filled with descriptions and inner thoughts. They could easily burn through three or 4 books in one movie

[krashly71]

I think the characters involved, the locations and the scope of it are too much, and to do it right would cost so much it wont happen. I dont want to see a less than total effort here, I would prefer NEVER to half-assing this one. I like the story too much to want it run through a Hollywood filter. Even Peter Jackson couldnt capture WOT unless he spent 800 Mil.

[CrutoniaFilms]

I agree. There's way too many locations that would have to be built. Caemlyn would be imposible to make. Plus all the extras that would be needed.

[dlsbol]

LOTR did it perfect. They tore down the helmsdeep set and put up Gondor in the same spot. It can be done. Extras will be needed, but I don't think volunteers will run short. Also you can CG in other background people. LOTR did this with the orcs and Oruk-ai (sp?) There were only 16 or something of actual people playing orcs. The CGI orcs in the LOTR were able to move seperately and randomly on a series of programmed moves. It can be done the same way. Possible with FULL COMMITMENT. Do it right.

[krashly71]

The problem is even done right there is less of a world fan base for WOT than LOTR, it would be virtually unknown to most. Plus, its not a trilogy its a ton of stories so what do they do? A single movie of book 1 to test the waters? A condensed version with main story parts from 1-3 in 1 film? I dont see anyone taking this on, not ever, unless its animated maybe and even then they would go cheap and whats the point then? Not going to happen.

[dlsbol]

I see your point. However, there are more than 44 million copies from the WoT series that have been sold. Who knows how many more have been given away. My point being it's safe to say there are more than 44 million people aware of the WoT, not including popularity by word of mouth. I don't think fan base is the issue. Budget is. The first movie has to be successful enough to pay for the second and so forth. Grants and help from producers will see the rest through. Again needs someone committed.

[dlsbol]

Also Peter Jackson read the LOTR and said "I can't wait for that to come out as a movie." Then years and years later, he directed it.

This project will be similar I think. People are intimidated, and rightfully so. The success of LOTR and the work needed to match it with the WoT is NO SMALL task.

Someone will step up to the challenge. Either Universal will now, or someone else will. Let's just hope it falls in the hands of somebody passionate about the film and the integrity of the books.

[krashly71]

I dont think a director who is a huge fan would ever be able to pull in the $ to do this, and the LOTR had universal appeal to even non-fantasy fans, while the WOT is not so broadly transferable I think. I dont know I just dont want it done badly, and if a current fan makes a movie some day when hes a director are we talking 2019? If so, then maybe computers will be able to take the edge of that $ and do more, but thats 10 years

[dlsbol]

Yeah, I think your dead on there. The budget is going to be outrageous if it's to be done right.

It'd be tight if they could set up a fan site where fans could donate a couple of bucks to see it done right you know. Good way to make quick and easy millions. Hell I'd give 'em 20 dollars haha.

Let's hope we don't have to wait until 2019, I'd love to help out on a project like this if possible. Maybe the fans can help push this thing along in the right direction.

I'm anxious to see it happen.

[IIemzyII]

You know that is a good point lol. I hadn't thought about the fact that alot of the reading is elaborate description.

[Artistwatcher]

lol i see parts of the trailer that are from lord of the rings, king arthur, and other movies

[Katarn84]

I just hope they do not destroy this movie as happened to Eragon. Looking back the last (and only) good fantasy movie was Lord of the Rings...

[MaximForLife]

The impression is that a movie always destroys a book, but I look at it like the movie can't stand up to the book. The Wheel of Time is so well written that we haven't even seen a writer/directer that can do it justice on the silver screen.

[XBillums]

Far too much would have to be cut to make it into even a trilogy of movies

[zitcan]

If anyone should play Lan it should be Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek fame). He's got the deep voice and imposing personality.

[Pirategurl123]

I guess he'd be a good lan but he'll make a very good Loial

[Ursanclaw]

Dreamworks already got the rights to make the movie dreadweave.

And I hope they don't take Keira Knightly in the movie, recently she looks like a skeleton.

[OscarHult]

Looks well done. Perrin is my favorite character and then is Faile and Aviendha. Perrin can be hard to find an actor for but Aviendha would Keira Knightley do good I think.

[H3Eeetee]

Using LoTR clips is a slap in the face.

[ShadesofScorpius]

Best fan trailer for WoT I've seen!

Im not entirely happy over news of a potential movie. Remember what happened to Dungeons and Dragons?

And NO Angelina Jolie. Lets have a single movie that she's not in, please. Aren't you people getting sick of her slapped-with-a-fish face yet? Get a cast of good unknowns and make a decent movie for once. When you start putting stars together you get smug performances.

[x187xEazyE]

but all major actors n actress's today can find a role to play for this series as its so extremely large, i would be honored to play a begger in the filming of this movie.

[x187xEazyE]

jolie would be a perfect Forsaken no matter which she chooses, i prefer the spyder. she not beautiful enough to be considered worlds most beautiful woman as lanfear is in WOT.

[SultanaFangs8]

She'd make a better aran'gar(hope i spelled that right) if it gets that far

[mrsblusky]

amazing !I'm a big big fan of the wheel of time

[Nekr0n895]

That's a nice mix of different movies

[Taveren22]

Angelina Jolie will HAVE to play Lanfear!! I mean Marin

[Ursanclaw]

Indeed, it better not suck like harry potter movies etc.

But I don't have too much hope for it.

[XxDreadweavexX]

There will be no tWoT movies. I think he's just bullshitting. For the simple fact: That politics becomes extremely boring when not on paper any longer where every detail is not explained. Nor would they ever be able to truly satisfy the fans, I think. But, I like I said it's unlikely fo the simple reason there';s alot of politics in tWoT as a whole and I doubt they'd just do the first book as a movie.

[RealChinese]

this is pretty good i really hope they dont screw up the movie it wouldnt do Robert Jordan justice

[mowgliajm1979]

lol this is just pap from other films butted together why waste time

[McNutz88]

i think josh hartnett would be a good mat, or perrin if he got really buff, lol.

[MyMamaSaidSo]

hmm, if elayne is at 1:12 it would be Leanna Walsmann?megara from nbc's hercules? I might be wrong.

[Djrockk]

I guess Vincent might work.. I'm never going to be happy with this movie if I want it to be perfect lol.

Good choice on the dude playing Perrin though.

[Djrockk]

Pretty good.

But you're joking about Clive Owen playing as Lan. Right? RIGHT?!
