Posts about Tad Williams
From his notablog.
"I am a fantasy fan, and I want more fantasy on television, and nothing would accomplish that more than a couple of big hits.  THE WITCHER, SHADOW & BONE, WHEEL OF TIME… and THE SANDMAN, a glorious adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s groundbreaking comic series… those are a good start, but I want more.  I want Tad Williams, I want Joe Abercrombie, I want Patrick Rothfuss, I want a good adaptation of Le Guin’s Earthsea books, I want Alan Garner, I want Robin Hobb… oh, the list is long, I could go on and on… and would if I did not have a zillion other things to do.  Most of all, I want Roger Zelazny’s NINE PRINCES IN AMBER.  I will never understand why Corwin and his siblings are not starring in their own show.  And hey, if epic fantasy continues to do well, maybe we will finally get that.  A boy can dream."
So what about you?
What is for you the one fantasy saga big TV networks needs to get their hands on asap?
My personal answer would be Robin Hobb.
She may be my favorite fantasy writer. She is absolutely a master at crafting brillant and deep characters and making them go on such emotional journeys...
And the physical journey is one to behold as well, she's just as good at building a world... from Buck to Jamailia, from the Rain Wilds to the pirates isles, the world of the Realm of the Elderlings simply stays with you.
And I would absolutely love to see it on TV one day... I know Robin previously said she wasnt really open to the idea but things have moved on, we live in a golden age of TV and some networks could really do with a prestige fantasy TV show. And the story of Fitz is up there in terms of prestige. Though I hope they'd go all the way in and adapt all sagas.
The writer in me would give an eye (well, maybe not) to be involved in adapting the entire story on screen.
But I'm curious to read what would be your top choice.
