FINALLY THE MADMEN DID IT
PREPARE TO BE BLOWN THE FUCK OUT LORD OF THE RINGS

>Is the long, weird saga of Wheel of Time's journey to television is seemingly over? After that bizarro pilot that lead to legal troubles and the final but very vague announcement the legendary fantasy series would come to TV properly after all, we now know it will be Sony who will be responsible for bringing Robert Jordan's world to life.

>Both IGN and Variety released reports last night stating that Sony will be adapting the 14-novel series, as part of a deal with Red Eagle Entertainment and Radar Pictures, while Rafe Judkins, who has credits on Agents of SHIELD, Chuck and Hemlock Grove, will write and produce. This is the first update since roughly this time last year when Jordan's widow, Harriet McDougal, confirmed that the series had landed at "a major studio".
