Default Earthsea miniseries



Earthsea Raises Fantasy Genre
Unique among classic fantasy tales
July 30th 2004 11:56am | Posted by: Roger Lee

(Sci Fi Wire) - Robert Halmi Sr., the Emmy-Award-winning executive producer of SCI FI Channel's upcoming original miniseries Earthsea, told SCI FI Wire that big-screen fantasy epics like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter paved the way, but that this miniseries raises the bar for the fantasy genre. "Something that Earthsea has that lots fantasy projects don't have ... is a morality and spiritual side," Halmi said in an interview at SCI FI's fall press preview in Los Angeles last week. "This has a maturation aspect to it. It has people who believe and people who do not believe. It could very easily be translated [for] today's society and [the] problems we have now."

I love Ursula K. LeGuin's work and really enjoyed the Earthsea trilogy. I hope they do it justice.
