I agree. But at the same time, I don't think there's a lot of fantasy series that's both (A) popular enough and (B) good enough to get the full-on lavish action blockbuster treatment. I expect we'll see a lot more 'normal'-budget TV series - either along the lines of Shannara or Legend of the Seeker, where it turns into a CW series, or along the lines of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell or American Gods, where it's a more normal prestige drama level of thing. I do know that someone licensed the Black Company books, so I don't know where that'll fall.

Personally I'm excited for the prestige-y TV adaptations of literary fantasy novels, because there are so many things in that category that you could do that I'd love. Why is no one doing a TV adaptation of A Fine And Private Place yet?

The Peter S Beagle book? OH MY GOD YES I WANT THIS SO MUCH ALREADY

I think it was a mistake to the Shannara books. Brooks already had a much better book series to film which would have allowed them to use real world sets and locations as well as fantasy stuff. They should have done Kingdom of Landover.

I heard about attempts to make a Landover movie a few years ago and it was an abomination. The thought was to give Ben kids who would go to Landover with him, a concept I raged over on the IMDB forums at the time. To make it worse, Brooks was apparently OK with this as long as it got his book on screen.
