Oh, great, FOX. When I think FOX, I always think "quality". :rolleyes:

Apparently Rothfuss wasn't willing to hold out for 20 years to get an HBO deal.

New Regency Productions and 20th Century Fox Television have optioned Patrick Rothfuss’ fantasy trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicle to develop into a drama series. Eric Heisserer (Hours, The Thing) is attached to adapt the series and will exec produce. Arnon Milchan, Andrew Plotkin, Brad Weston and Robert Lawrence (Die Hard With A Vengeance) also serve as exec producers. Set in a compelling world where the sharpest minds can master magic, The Kingkiller Chronicles tells the story of Kvothe, a streetwise young man who hopes to one day hunt down the mysterious group that murdered his family.

So, yeah... awesome on one end. Fox on the other... but there are fox shows that are good... right?

Unless they manage to squeeze twenty five seasons out of the books, it should be good. Not that I would put is past them.

Heh, "streetwise" is such a kind word to describe the immense psychological damage that a person accumulates as a homeless child in a big city

When I think almost getting raped, I think "streetwise". Hopefully that hype blurb is just that, a hype blurb, and the show is willing to delve into actual emotion.

Thanks Bells for a correct link, there was a Tor one but I guess I linked the wrong story I was looking at.
