Stephen Donaldson's fantasy book series THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT is on its way to becoming a movie franchise. Revelstone Entertainment has bought the film rights to the first six books in the CHRONICLES series and has hired screenwriter John Orloff (BAND OF BROTHERS) to adapt the first novel. As well, Mark Gordon is onboard as a producer for the film.
Donaldson's uncoventional fantasy series followed the story of a ill writer from our world that is mysteriously transported to a world where magic exists. Believing that he's hallucinating and that the people in this "Land" are just figments of his fevered imagination, Covenant performs some actions that have long-term effects on his psyche. Eventually he comes to accept the strangeness of his situation and his role as a mythic hero to its people.

BTW, just finished reading The Runes of the Earth, the 1st book of the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.
Very good read, and in keeping with it's predecessors.
That is if you like this sort of stuff.
edit:
And I found a messageboard...
It is called Kevin's Watch .
It's been around for three years, but the m00bie forum is fresh as a daisy.
If you can't find me, guess where I'll be???? :mrgreen:
