You can use your mouse to move the screen in any direction on the trailer below. It's interesting, but not really that cool.
I've read many of the books, but it's been so long ago I don't remember all that much and I gave up after book 13, I think.
Amazon's answer to Game of Thrones. I'll check it out, but I'm not sold on how great this might be.
Why can't they just leave some things as books?
I am sure I will be as disappointed with this as I was with Game of Thrones. The characters on screen never look like they do in the imagination.

Good question. I don't know, but I have read a book and thought to myself, "self, this would be a cool movie/series". Some of the ones I thought would be getter suited haven't gotten any Hollywood love while some, like Foundation, got a dump truck of money to make it happen.
I didn't think this Wheel of Time series was all that good. They could have been edited down a lot, but the editor was married to the author so we got what we got. And that was a lot! LOL!
I do my best to look past that stuff, but it isn't always easy.
Looking forward to it. I enjoyed the books many years ago.
I have been counting the days for this to arrive. Jordan was full of imagination and produced tons of material for a great series.
Hopefully it will match the screenplay work on GoT (except for the last season which sucked due to rushing to the end).
They spent a ton of money on each episode so I'm hoping we get their money's worth.
I think this has even more significant/major characters and moving parts than GoT. Not sure how they are going to handle it? Hopefully they don't exclude or kill off too many crucial characters too fast.
I enjoyed the books for the most part years ago, although the narrative seemed to get bog down in the middle of the series. I'll give the series a try, although I thought Moiraine had bright red hair in the books so that's not what I expected her to look like. .
If there are teenagers in it, let's hope they are the first to die ... angst is irritating.
