Legend of the Seeker Trailer

Originally called Wizard's First Rule, this TV series is also an epic and it is also based on a novel: (Wizard's First Rule Sword of Truth, Book 1) much like the post before this (Crusoe).

Only unlike Crusoe, which NBC is gambling with a prime time slot, Legend of the Seeker will not be running as a regular series on the prime time block. Instead, ABC network is bringing it into syndication directly.

The film is produced by Sam Raimi, who might be more familiar to most people as the guy who gave us the Spider-man Trilogy and The Grudge.

Legend of the Seeker was filmed in lovely New Zealand.

Here, take a look:

Pilot Watch: Wizard's First Rule

Sam Raimi, Director of the Spiderman Trilogy, is teaming up with ABC Television, to bring an ambitious series for the fantasy genre.

Wizard's First Rule, targeted for a fall release, is an adaptation of the book The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. The story is about a simple woodsman and a Wizard, and their quest to rid the world of a tyrant.

Raimi and ABC TV partnered to bring back the genre to which Hercules and Xena became well-known. It will be a 22 episode-epic and production will begin in May.
