Apparently, a late night pilot for a Wheel of Time television series was snuck out in the wee hours of the morning several months ago. Jordan's widow was not impressed and I hear that legal action is being pursued. If you have not seen the pilot, here it is. I put off reading the series because Imhad fears that it would never be finished. I need to give it a shot one of these days since Sanderson has completed the story.
This really isn't going to be the show. In contracts, there is often a specification that if something is not done in a certain period of time, the rights revert back. This is why a pilot was made and released in the middle of the night. It is simply a way to retain the rights.
ReplyDeleteThe widow can be as upset as she wants, but I doubt she has a legal leg to stand on.
