According to the IMDB, Mike Newell is directing the first adaptation of a Terry Brooks novel. The Elfstones of Shannara is also listed as being “in production” from the online source Production Weekly, so perhaps this is more than just rumor.
I have not read the Terry Brooks’ Shannara series myself, but have heard many praise it highly. Newell directed one of the Harry Potter films, by the way.

I love the Shannara series!!! I hope movie versions are made–and made as well as the Lord of the Rings.

I sure hope they make terry’s books into films! I love them, and my dad does too. Terry is like the best author i’ve ever read!
