Sam Raimi is probably most known for directing the Spiderman and Evil Dead movies, but some of you may not know that he produced two somewhat popular series many years ago, Hecules and Xenia:Warrior Princess.
Well, he’s returning to television with a new series and Zap2it has the scoop.
Named for the first book in author Terry Goodkind’s “Sword of Truth” book, the adaptation centers on young woods guide Richard Cypher (Horner) who begins an extraordinary journey in which he seeks a nameless Wizard and slowly discovers his own magical abilities. On the way, he teams up with the mysterious Kahlan (Regan) to take down a bloodthirsty tyrant. Raimi is teaming with ABC Studios to produce the hourlong weekly syndicated series, which has been cleared in 95 percent of the country for its fall launch.
I usually don’t get into the syndicated series, like Andromeda and Xenia, but I know a lot of scifi fans might, and stuff like this generally makes for some good entertainment on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

I can’t wait for this to be on TV. This is fairly old news that it is happening, but the casting of course is new news.
