Wizard’s First Rule’s First Photo
Actually, I have no idea if this is really the first photo from Legend of the Seeker, the syndicated TV adventure series based on the Sword of Truth fantasy novels by Terry Goodkind and produced by Sam Raimi. But it’s the first one I’ve seen, so I thought it could be worth sharing before the show’s two-hour premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel on November 1st. Now, I’ve never read the books, and thus have no idea how accurate Craig Horner looks as Richard Cypher (right), or Bridget Regan as Kahlan Amnell, if the fans are screaming bloody murder or are overjoyed. I can only assume if the characters are supposed to look like a couple getting married at a renaissance festival, then they’ve nailed it. (Via Scifi.com)
