Expect blockbuster action in the
Wheel of Time videogames. Professional screenwriter Chris Morgan is directing the story for Red Eagle Entertainment’s forthcoming videogame series. Morgan is the writer of numerous Hollywood flicks including such greats as
Cellular,
Wanted,
The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.
The
Wheel of Time series is a mess of cold stares and plot holes, but we’re guessing that’s not why Morgan was given the job as story director. The videogame series is described as a set of games “derived” from Robert Jordan’s fiction, thus -- and we’re guessing here -- writers are need to plug in whatever
game-y elements are needed to flesh out the digital experience.
We’re cool with this choice as long as we don’t glimpse Rand steering his horse around slick street bends or evading police in future teaser trailers. That would be a bigger bummer than the typical cold (or icy) stare.

On another note I think I would appreciate seeing Rand being chased by police....
I don't know how well the series will translate into a game -- my gut tells me not very well, but who knows -- but take any 'Wheel of Times sucks' commentary with a more than a few grains of salt.
