News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

One thing I'd like to see is how they portray Vin's memories of Reen.
I vote for a faded ghost like figure of Reen walking through the scene communicating whatever he communicates while Vin is trying to focus on the task at hand. Kinda like Obi-Wan's voice overs with a little more tangible reality (if you can call a ghost like figure tangible or reality)

Any information is more than I had! Thank you!
At least I know what to call them now when I wildly speculate.
New thread: Wild speculations that have almost no actual fact to back it.
Go go go!

Maybe they are working on a scheme to get rid of us non-Utahians.

I would prefer a 5 (1hr each) part series on sci-fi (production value of that of Tin Man or Alice not OMG THE BEASTZ ARE AFTER MEZ movies) for each book. Make it long and correctly done. 2 hours is not enough.

Ooo Ooo Ima be useful! This exact question was just answered in another thread just a lil while ago.
Brandon has been working like a dog for long hours. He spends up to 14 hours per day writing, but he wants to get to where he's spending more like 9 hours a day.

She's got the right build, the right hair, and she can totally move in a way that can't be faked without the best CG (and even then, not so well).It's hilarious that the production company is called >Baa-Ram-Ewe<.

Raging Phoenix trailer
Something tells me they are fans of BABE. Ha.

I think if anything, the quality of the BOOKS dictates how crappy the movie will be. Of course that's not the case for every book turned movie franchise, but it's probably a good rule of thumb for most.
But if I had to choose (which I think is sort of pointless, because there would probably be lesser known actors), Nathan Fillion for Kelsier, Summer Glau for Vin.
I could DEFINITELY see Summer as Vin, she has the right stature and looks young enough to play Vin without being a horrible (which most of the time comes with younger actors).
I can see Nathan playing Kelsier, he has the right personality.. lighthearted and fun but serious when it calls for it.
Good picks Chaos, and might I add.. I do believe you are a little bit of a fellow Firefly geek.

« on: January 15, 2010, 06:43:20 PM »Miyabi's done very well with your questions. It's probably worth pointing out that future books in the Stormlight Archive (the series that The Way of Kings is part of) will take much longer to finish than Way of Kings did, as it was already in first or second draft stage when Brandon came to Tor to make a contract for it.
Maybe it'll go faster? Since I'm sure Brandon has already laid out the ground work for all the arcs and back story, character personalities for probably the majority of the series. He has already pointed out that he has speculated it should be 10 books long and how else would he know that without doing a good amount of planning ahead.
NOT TO MENTION! You know Brandon, the way he interweaves the small stuff into his series would mean a lot of notes. Heh

« on: January 14, 2010, 11:29:00 PM »For people who have read DRAGONSTEEL and know how integral certain bits of that book appeared to its plot, WAY OF KINGS is going to be a pretty big shock.
Does it like, contradict things from Dragonsteel? That's be pretty interesting.
I'm kind of glad that Dragonsteel doesn't have a digital copy floating around the forums. I feel like it could seriously spoil things to come through Way of Kings. It amazes me that even though multiple people have gotten their hands on it, they haven't created a digital copy out of it. BS has good fans.

Smart man. Always take people up on their offer of FREE money. It's their fault they offered. They will learn their lesson.

Hey my plan will be spaced over MANY years. Tattoos are expensive AND I don't let myself do it without accomplishing something I personally set. Makes each tattoo and little more important.
Plus it will be my first. Go me.
I should definitely do the whole spikes through the eyes thing. I think I could pull that one off quite well. Heh
