Well, this is the first I've heard of it, but these things go veeeeeeeeeeeeerry slowly. If this is even still going, (that is, assuming it hasn't completely tanked) then it might still be months or years off before anything solid is completed or any foundations for the release of this show is made.
Although I really like FR, I'm not sure how well this would do, personally.

License expired, never got renewed. So it's a no go. Dead at least for now. :)

Bummer, i would like it. As long as they didn't try to duplicate the books. I would prefer an original plotline. Their aren't enough fantasy tv series out there. Just sci fi.

not even much of sci-fi.
everything with good writing (Futurama & Family Guy easily come to mind) on the "major" channels are all "reality" TV, which is about as good as anything with a title along the lines of "The World's Blankiest Blank."

I haven't seen a really good sci-fi since star trek: the next generation, Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and Babylon 5, all but the first have been off the air for some time. (which is too bad. Didn't even get into Babylon 5 until the show had already stopped making new episodes.)

Its a crying shame, IMO. (I miss new episodes of Futurama.)
