Wiki.
Legend of Earthsea (later shortened to Earthsea) is a two-part television fantasy miniseries produced for the Sci-Fi Channel and aired in 2004. It is an adaptation of the Earthsea novels by Ursula K. Le Guin. The teleplay was written by Gavin Scott, and the series was directed by Robert Lieberman. Legend of Earthsea is an American-Canadian co-production that was filmed on location in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Combining the plots of the first two Earthsea novels, A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan, the story follows Ged (Shawn Ashmore), a powerful but reckless mage-in-training, and Tenar (Kristin Kreuk), a young priestess, who are drawn together in a battle against an ancient race of demons known as the Nameless Ones. The cast also features Danny Glover, Isabella Rossellini, Sebastian Roché and Chris Gauthier.
Legends of Earthsea aired over two consecutive nights in December 2004. It received generally negative reviews from both critics and fans of the original novels, and it was heavily criticized for its numerous deviations from them. Even so, it won seven Leo Awards and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects. Le Guin stated that she had been cut out of the creative process for Legends of Earthsea and that she did not approve of the miniseries.
