Sam Raimi’s spooky new series
April 14, 2008
Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert have tapped “The X-Files” vet John Shiban to exec produce their upcoming syndie skein “Wizard’s First Rule.” Shiban, who is with the CW’s “Supernatural,” will help translate Terry Goodkind’s series of books into a weekly TV series. Project is set in a fantasy world of magic and wizards and focuses on the Seeker, a man who is destined to save the world, but not before battling a whole bunch of bad guys. Scribe said he plans “to take a cue from ‘The X-Files’” in setting up the skein’s structure. “There’s an overarching mythology to the series, but the job of Seeker allows (the lead character) to fight evil in self-contained episodes,” he said. Shiban, new to the syndie realm, said he’s enjoying the genre’s advantages. — Via Variety
