I'm sure someone in Hollywood would think it was a good idea to make a movie about a video game that was originally based on a book series.

I hate to break this to you but there's a video game based on Wheel of Time. I was suggesting Uwe Boll as a joke because he is one of the worst directors.

Yes, but it would still be an adaptation of the book...not the video game.

Pinski's point was it was a book first. I was talking about the video game because that's the only kind of movie that Uwe Boll makes. But he is correct the source material is the books. Hollywood will notice it more if it's a video game or a comic right now though.

Which series was In The Name of the King based on? Dungeon Siege?
I lol'd all the way through it and all the bad fantasy cliches - the wood elves on the vines completely killed me. They need to work it into some sort of roleplay cyber "I put on my elf hat and slide down my vine..."

Just look at it this way - they may make a movie so bad it's entertaining as hell despite itself.
