Some more movies about elves, druids, and gnomes are coming to a theater near you! Warner Brothers has picked up the rights to Terry Brooks' Shannara series.
The first book in the series was called The Sword of Shannara. It was published in 1977, Brooks has written over a dozen novels in the series since, so there's plenty of material available should the franchise take off. The most recent book in the series was Straken, released in 2005. In the books, "politics and war are waged using magic, with a backdrop of the skeletal remains of skyscrapers and subways." Warner Bros. is looking for writers now, and intends to kick off the film series with the second book -- The Elfstones of Shannara. |
