The beloved book series Wheel of Time is making its way into various media for the world to enjoy. With not only a movie deal in the works, Red Eagle Games has big plans for the title that will include console and PCs games as well as an MMOG.

So who is the lucky fellow who will be reimagining Robert Jordan's works? Red Eagle Games has signed on Hollywood writer Chris Morgan. Morgan is known for his screenwriting for movies such as Wanted, Fast and the Furious, and Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Morgan had this to say about his new gig:

"As a massive fan of The Wheel of Time series, and a lifelong gamer, I jumped at the chance to be part of the Red Eagle Games team," Morgan said. "The world that Robert Jordan created is so rich, the characters and storylines so varied and inventive, that I feel like a kid in a candy store. It's really a dream opportunity for me."
