It'd be just as good as a tv series. Truth is there's ample materials for multiple seasons of television. I think there've been a few tries at fantasy tv series but ruin mist would be the one with the storylines to carry it particularly in how RS crafted the threads. They work well in any format.

I can't recall any epic fantasy tv series.....Oh wait, one I can recall but it didn't last long though I thought pretty decent. As a series of 8 movies I think it'd be more spectacular. The right director could make it huge with the material RS provides. Between the shapeshifters and their vile, plotting queen, the evil enemy king, the dark powers from the past, there's certainly enough for something on the scale of Lord of the Rings.

The right director WOULD make this huge, huger than LOTR for sure. For casting, who should star in the movies? It'd be a big cast and the villains would have to be as well cast as the heroes. Like I hope Erravane and her shapeshifters get a huge role. They are key to the first two books and for sure they have to be coming back.

Erravane and her shapeshifters would have to be a big part of the movies. The first two books are full of their plots and schemes to get the kingdomers and manipluate the prince.
The big cast of villains is what would make the move more than great -- it's what would make them exceptional. RS really knows how to deliver and make all the characters real.

There is a HUGE cast of both villains and heroes --- it's one thing I love about RS books. He knows how to create fantastic characters you care about whether they are good or bad you feel like you know them and there's always a lot of them.

Totally true!! Each book could be a season of tv and if so there'd be eight seasons minimum. That'd be amazing to see and RS could get more into the characters and events not necessarily seen but referenced like with more on Erravane and her secret doings and more on Jarom Tyr'anth and his secret doings.

An eight season run on tv would be the best gift ever. Someone like fox could do it right or maybe showtime.

Cool idea FOX would be a good choice or like ABC family they do some fantasy-themed miniseries from time to time. Another good choice would be scifi channel.

The first movie would be phenominal with the shapeshifters and the battles and all the intrigue. I'd like to see it planned as a trilogy or quadrilogy. Maybe best as !4! three-hour movies with tons of action, very epic.

Focusing on the shapeshifters more would make it an excellent start. There's also all the intrigues with the elves and the training of Vilmos. Powerful stuff!

Give me four good ruin mist movies and I'll be happy as a clam! Problem is hollywood is full of idiots who remake 50 year old movies 12 times.

Back to the idea of tv, they'd make an amazing series on like Scifi channel or Cinemax or Showtime. There's ample material for a good long run through many seasons. The creatures and magic would make it higher budget but it'd be good up there with Stargate, Battlestar Gallactica. Way better than most others.
