Animated WoT Movie
( http://www.dragonmount.com/Movies/DM-Movie )
We get daily requests from people asking about the DM movie. It is DEFINITELY happening! We’ll have a brand new movie website up sometime in early 2003 for you to check out. Sorry for the delay, but it’s coming.
In the meantime, If you want to talk about who would make the best actor playing Rand or Moiraine, you can talk about it here. Or if you want to ask questions about how we’ll be doing certain parts of our movie, you can just go and ask there. It should be a really fun message board, so please stop by.
