Spider-Man franchise director Sam Raimi and his producing partner Joshua Donen have optioned the film rights to Terry Goodkind's best-selling Sword of Truth adventure series, published by Tor Books, the ComingSoon.net Web site reported.

In a meeting at the author's home, the renowned director and producer conceived of a groundbreaking miniseries, and within two hours Goodkind was sold on the concept, and negotiations commenced. Ten months later the deal was finally concluded.

All of Goodkind's novels have been international best-sellers. Translated into 20 foreign languages, there are more than 10 million copies in print. The Sword of Truth series began with Wizard's First Rule in 1994. The 10th novel in the series, Phantom, is on sale now. The 11th and final volume is under contract and will be published in 2008.

Raimi and Donen hope to begin production of the opening miniseries, Wizard's First Rule, within the next year, to be followed by ensuing volumes of the epic novels. The development process will begin while Raimi completes Spider-Man 3.
