It'd be the only way to really have a chance of making a successful movie franchise. Maybe a few scenes with the others when they're split up, but not much, maybe Nynaeve meeting up with Moiraine and Lan, and Perrin's rescue from the Whitecloaks.


Would you continue that idea through later movies/books? Or would you adapt it? The first three books could focus pretty much on Rand, and only occassionally have a side story happen and everything could be told that needs telling. Focusing on Rand would work for the first three movies in my opinion.

However, starting with the Shadow Rising, and onward, it would be impossible to focus just on Rand. For example, in the Shadow Rising we have the following major storylines:

1. Rand, Mat, Moiraine, Lan, Egwene in the Waste.
2. Elayne, Nynaeve, Thom, Juilin hunting BA in Tanchico.
3. Perrin, Faile, Padan Fain, Whitecloaks in the Two Rivers.

Once the major characters split up in The Shadow Rising the story is all over the place from then on. It gets even worse in later books.

I don't know how anyone could make a movie after book 4. I'll need to think on it some more.

EotW movie. What would you cut to make a 2-2:30 movie? - 16/12/2009 07:35:41 PM 994 Views
Two things cannot be cut. At all. - 17/12/2009 12:31:06 AM 630 Views
Bela and Narg would definitely be in MY version of the movie! *NM* - 17/12/2009 12:45:41 AM 259 Views
The movie just won't make sense without Bela or Narg! *NM* - 17/12/2009 05:39:01 AM 252 Views

I believe a 3 hour movie is called a mini-series, now. - 17/12/2009 04:38:57 AM 524 Views
A 2 hour movie would be very short for these books - 17/12/2009 05:27:13 AM 510 Views

Personally, I would take out what was probably the LotR's biggest failing... - 17/12/2009 05:52:04 AM 622 Views
