Earthsea...

[Zim Hosein]

The cast and plot looks IMO: Earthsea

Anyone agree or disagree?

Sweet!! The Wizard of Earthsea was the first fantasy novel I ever read. I absolutely loved it and the other 2 books in the series. I'm gonna vid cap it but you didn't hear me say that.

 

bump

it was the best trilogy i've read

 

[arod]

Universal HD starts dec 1 and its rumored earthsea may be shown in Hd on it.....

plus battlestar galactica and stargate: atlantis are going to be shown too since all teh shows are shot in HD already.

 

[MacBaine]

An angry, headstrong youth, whose magical power could rival that of the greatest wizards....

A beautiful young priestess, introduced to evil....

A warrior king who wields words and weapons with equal force....

I liked it better when it was called Star Wars Episode 2.

Wait, that sucked too.

Is that the trilogy about the boy who learns magic (from a witch?) and saves his village from invasion by creating a fear fog, and then later becomes a wizard and later is trying to restore the luck in the world?

yup
he becomes archmage

goes by the name of sparrowhawk

i wonder if they'll be loyal to the book and NOT call him Ged (since very few knew his true name)

they've already broke the loyalness and made him white

They were the first I ever picked up as well. I've only read the first and last. I never got back to the others.

I always got the impression that he was white when I read it. How does the book describe him?

 

he's described as dark skinned, chocolate brown

tenar was white, pale skinned

the folk on Gont were all dark skinned, while the Kargs and extreme westerners were pale skinned

Great books. Kristin Kreuk is in it, so I'll give it a chance as a TV show.

Sorry about skipping out on this thread. I didn't subscribe and didn't know you all were talking about Earthsea until just now...

Anyways, I will be capturing this to my PC. I can't wait to see what they've done to the novels.
