The rights to a film adaptation for all of the Shannara novels have been sold to Warner Bros until 2010. The Elfstones of Shannara, the first planned film, will be directed by Mike Newell, who was also responsible for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Now with the establishment of this website, Terry can answer several questions a month from his fans! Terry will accept two questions from each fan per month.
