And get this: The films are base on the Age of Legends. That right the mythical utopian (dystopian depending on who you ask) age will becoming to life.
In the thread Sarah mused about how the #TwitterOfTime Community would react to the sudden news drop.

Sarah, and all others posting about this, need to stop refering to it as an adaptation. You cannot adapt something when there is no source material to adapt from. It will basically just be a glorified FanFic in movie form, and there is far more terrible FanFic out there than anything of true quality.
This is pretty insane news no matter how it falls out, right? Lots to gossip about!
While i would definitely love to see 3 movies set in the AOL it should be done as an adjunct to the Show, using the same Actors for Lews Therin and the Forsaken. I would think the plan would be the first Movie starts at the time of the Drilling and the beginning of the fall. The second movie would cover the War of Power ending with the Strike at Shayul Gul and the beginning of the Breaking. The 3rd Movie the founding of the White Tower and the Second Compact.
