Guess my question is who is 'IM Global Television'?
They seem to be a newer company, I don't think they have any already distributed tv shows.

What distribution channels do they use? I don't think this company produces content its self.
http://www.imglobaltv.com/scripted-slate/ This shows several projects that sound interesting to me. 
"Cat's Cradle" is listed in association with FX and "I, rebel" is listed with Amazon

There is no listing for black company on this page yet

Without a proven track record for 'IM Global Television' this might all be vaporware, or worse yet not up to fan standards.

I will be remembering to keep expectations low and hopeful for a completed project.

Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, i was just about to say that the reference to "Port of Shadows" (Book 1.5) is the most exciting piece of news in the piece :)

I think Eliza Dushku would kick ass as The Lady :)  And it's fitting that she be called the star of the series; I'd say Lady's transformation is the most significant moral growth journey in the series.  And it's really neat that she comments on the moral issues as paramount: she gets it :)

And let's not forget that buried in the story is a publication date for Port of Shadows. I was beginning to think we'd seen the last of new books from Glen.

I'm more worried about how they will handle certain scenes.

For example, when they discover Darling - will they show or imply what was happening to her when she was rescued?

How about showing the men cutting loose when they uncover Whisper's papers? I can't see them having the "heroes" of the company raping the defeated Amazon company.

Or some of the other nasty stuff?

In short, I fear the evils committed by the company will be whitewashed...

And having a big name as The Lady? That strongly implies that she will appear sooner (and more often) in the movies than in the books.  That or we will see things that Croaker doesn't, which will be a big departure for the story.

Still, overall, I see this as a good thing.  It should get more people reading the books, and if they make this show it will put lots of cash in Cook's pocket.  Jim Butcher was a best selling urban fantasy writer for years before he got a short running TV show and he credits that show for making him financially secure.
