The original idea was that the book se ries was going to be made into films, with Le Guin giving her blessing to adapt the series after her death. Yet you need the money to adapted The Earthsea Cycles. It posed the question: Can you adapted The Earthsea Cycles successfully, or is the pressure of a studio system too great? Thanks to budget constraints, the addition of a romantic subplot, and whitewashing, the film anger not only fans of the series but also Le Guin herself. In 2004, the Sci Fi Channel created a three-hour loose adaptation for television of A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan, entitled Legend of Earthsea. Le Guin, The Earthsea Cycle is a fantasy series set in an archipelago of hundreds of islands and focuses on the coming-of-age story of a young wizard named Ged, who must use his powers to stop those who threaten to upset the islands’ way of life.
