A Shannara Movie Interview!

Just before the redesign of the news section here on Terry's web site, we posted a link to A Dribble of Ink's interview with Eldon Thompson that took a look at his involvement in the upcoming Shannara movie currently optioned by Warner Bros.

Eldon describes the initial process he went through to produce a screenplay based on Terry's second novel, The Elfstones of Shannara, which eventually went on to be purchased by Warner Bros. He also goes into detail about his experience with the movie industry, why he chose The Elfstones of Shannara instead of The Sword of Shannara and how he balances his time between screenwriting and his own career as a novelist.

He has a lot of great things to say, so be sure to check it out! If you missed the first metion of the interview, this is the perfect time to get up to date on the Shannara movie project!

You can find the interview HERE.

The first book I picked up and read from Terry Brooks was the Elfstones. I'm glad he decided to go with this book first.

The Elfstones is the book that got all of my friends interested in reading. I can't even imagine what a movie would do?

I hope the scene where the dog walks into the room and changes into a demon will be in the movie. That was one of my favorite scenes in the book. Does anybody remember that part in Elfstones? The scene was totally creepy. It sent chills down my spine. I can't recall if it was the king's dog. I haven't read the book since I was a kid.
