Casting for the WFR Television Series

OK, so I know I haven't posted in quite a while but sometimes a girl gets busy, you know? However, I have just been notified that the roles of Richard and Kahlan have been cast for the Wizard's First Rule TV series that will be premiering on ABC in the fall. Fans have been waiting for this day. I personally have been somewhat dreading it. I'm just not convinced that the TV show will do justice to the characters that I have in my mind after reading the books. After initially seeing the casting photos, I was not reassured.

Craig Horner will be playing the role of Richard Rahl:

And Bridget Regan will be playing Kahlan Amnell:

The more that I look at the photos, the more I am growing to be OK with them (notice I didn't say "like" because I just don't think I'm there yet). It's hard to let go of your own images of characters. I also initially thought that Craig Horner looked a little young... but I am reminded that the characters are in their early twenties when they meet. So I think it will actually be OK.

Now we fans just have to continue to anxiously wait for the show.... let's hope it does well and does not ruin this amazing series of books.
