rabidsamfanThe movie comes out tomorrow. They've changed the name to "The Seeker", apparently, and have made even more changes that take it farther away from the books I love. (Check out this community if you want to see the rants.)
Apparently now the Walker isn't in the movie. (And someone did a YouTube video about it!) And there is worse. At this point, the movie is so bad it will probably drive children away from the books out of sheer distaste, and they will never know how badly the filmmakers screwed up the source material.
ETA: Looks like the critics don't care for it much either.
Please, please, please, for the love of decent fantasy films everywhere, don't go see this one. Buy the books instead. Donate them to your local library if you don't want them yourselves. But stay away in droves.
