'Spider-Man' Director Buys Rights to Goodkind Series
July 24, 2006
By Kimberly Maul
Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, and his producing partner Joshua Donen, will develop a miniseries based on Terry Goodkind’s bestselling “Sword of Truth” series. Production will begin within a year, with Wizard’s First Rule, the first book in the series.
Goodkind, who has previously turned down film offers, was struck by Raimi and Donen’s idea for a miniseries.
“It’s a dream come true to work with someone of such remarkable vision, talent and ability,” Goodkind said in a statement released today. “Given Sam’s sincere love for these stories and his determination to only make great films, this mini series will be a watershed event.”
Phantom, the latest in the ten-book series, was released last week, with the 11th set for release in early 2007. The ninth book, Chainfire, was released in January 2005 and has sold more than 235,000 in hardcover and mass-market editions, as tracked by Nielsen BookScan.
Raimi is currently wrapping Spider-Man 3, with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
