It was my understanding that he also did the screenplay for Hook, no?
Concerned citizen
I don't know about screenplay but he did do a novelization for it and for the Phantom Menace, finished Shannara and started a new series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.142.36.59 ( talk) 20:52, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
The concept of different races working together against a dark lord is not a new plot. Brooks has been considered to be a modern day Tolkien, because his writings are very similar, but hardly plagarism.
Terry Brooks's website has a list of future projects with a timetable, only some of which appears here. Would it be good to add the others? http://www.terrybrooks.net/next.html Parableman 18:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I went to his official web page today, http://www.terrybrooks.net, and it apparently isn't there anymore. It seems to now be hosted by one of those generic cyber sitting web sites. What happened to his domain? I checked the whois info on it and it says it was leased in 1999 until 2015. This doesn't make any sense to me.-- 75.15.211.78 ( talk) 04:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
The claim cant be true:
"He is the second-biggest selling living fantasy writer, behind J.K. Rowling. [1]"
On Terry Pratchetts page you can read:
"Pratchett was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s,[4][5] and as of December 2007 has sold more than 55 million books worldwide,[6] with translations made in 33 languages.[7] He is currently the second most-read writer in the UK, and seventh most-read non-US author in the US.[8]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett
Both cant be true at the same time.

Yep, that claim was untrue. He hasn't sold as many as Pratchett, JK Rowling or Stephen King, which pushes him to fourth position. Stephanie Meyer has also allegedly sold more, and he's about neck-and-neck with Terry Goodkind, David Eddings and Margeret Weis & Tracy Hickman. So no, Brooks has sold massively but he's not in the superleague that the original article tried to put him in.-- Werthead ( talk) 14:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks like nothing is really in motion to make a Brooks movie according to his newsletter [1], so I removed the film adaptation section. The adaptation by Mike Newell that was specifically referencing in the section is not happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.179.12.68 ( talk) 02:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Terry Brooks ? My favorite writer of the fantasy genre. He is better than Tolkien. I have read all 22 of his books. Hello from Italy. -- 2.33.180.159 ( talk) 10:53, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
