This is why I think it will be only one movie (or perhaps three)

They would have to cut too much out of the other books and I think that would annoy enough people that it wouldn't be worth making them.
It isn't anything like Lord of the Rings. If you think about tSR, there are 3 main storylines and they barely have anything to do with each other. tSR would need to be 2 movies, or cut out the Elayne and Nynaeve storyline completely. Then in movie 5 they can show up in Salidar and say "btw, the Seanchan have a male a'dam, Nynaeve bested Moghedien, but then she escaped. Hi Marigan. Oh, hi Siuan. I heard about you being deposed. Min saved you? cool."
So (like I've said already) I only see EotW and maybe the next 2 books as feasible, unles they are HUGE hits and I don't see that either.

Ha, if they wanted to do it right, they'd make at least three movies out of just the first book. *NM*

This is so depressing! Theoretically, this would be a huge, awesome thing

I agree. Make the first 3 books into movies and end it. They can stand as a trilogy. *NM*

In addition to what's been said, I hope the prospect of movies won't delay the last two books. *NM*

WoT movies would run into age problems for the actors if many movies were made...

That actually might work. There's existing cartoon portrayals of the main characters. *NM*
