WOW! I can't believe no has mentioned the King of heroic fantasy...Robert Ervin Howard!!!! Try also Lin Carter and L Sprague De Camp who also continued his legacy. The Robert Jordan Conan novels are also very good. Look out for characters such as Co…
The only author I've come across that does low fantasy as well as Gemmell is probably George R R Martin. I'm very excited to see what they do with his books when the convert them into a TV series later this year.
There's no one like him, unfortunately!! I've been pouring my way through fantasy novels for years trying to find another Gemmell, and haven't done it yet :( Have you tried Adrian Tchaikovsky though? He's my new favourite thing in all the world :) A…
Ive read a lot of authors and i see very similar structures with the writing to David Gemmells works by an author called Geoff Thompson. Although he does not write fantasy his books are very thrilling. Watch My Back in particular was very entertaini…
As well as the Brent Weeks trilogy, I also very much enjoyed the first book by Peter V. Brett 'The Painted Man'. Very much looking forward to the 2nd book (Desert Spear)
I'm not an administrator so i can rave about the night angel trilogy )brent weeks) to my hearts content. i just loved that trilogy.
I live in Canberra. Welcome to the boards - its good to see more Gemmell fans here.
Yes, you have to be rigid and realistic in your goals for each day. Set aside one hour each day at a time that is highly convenient for you. Tell everyone you know that you will be busy for that hour and that you are not to be interrupted. Sit down…
I'm working on one. There is no way it can be translated verbatim from the book though, its just too big in script form.
What do you mean by 'my Brother and I' for the style? I checked John Landis's work at IMDB, the only noteworthy thing he seems to have made was The Blues Brothers, what makes you suggest him for this film?
In terms of style for the fights I was thi…
It would forever be compared to 300 with music like this. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I was thinking something more original though.
Thanks for your reply Phil, I appreciate it. I see what you're saying with the extended version, but the problem still remains with what to cut from the story for the box office version. To me, the ultimate warrior would be a man who can read your n…
As a movie, some things will have to be cut from the book. Its too big for all of it to make into a movie version. Cutting back minor characters is easy, but its still going to be too big for a movie. How much of a difference would it make to the ov…
I'm taking all suggestions seriously, so if you have better ones let me know and I'll add them if I can see that they're better. I added Christopher Lee as Earl Delnar on dros's suggestion. Virae is tough. I want her to look capable - like she reall…
I've created a quick website that has pictures of the actors that I think should be in this movie. If you're interested in who I've chosen follow the link below:
