: : I've seen many people on the news groups say they discovered some of the great authors after seeing bastardized adaptations of their books in the theater or on television.: No. Not in this case. It's probably too mutated from anything Andre ever did to be recognizable, AFAIK, it may have no credits or title tie sufficient to send people to the stores. What bugs me is that the Sept. 11-17 TV guide says: "Australian Actor Daniel Goddard is Dar, the last male of the legendary Sula tribe in this latest incarnation of the sword-and-sorcery book, which also inspired the popular feature films." Sword and Sorcery??? Just because the movies were S&S cheese doesn't make the original the same kind of ilk. I for one plan to write TV Guide and point it out.
