IGN: How faithful is the TV show to the books?

Regan: You know, what I think is faithful are the characters. Richard and Kahlan. I think that Craig (Horner, who plays Richard Cypher) and I are really staying true to who those people are in the book and their relationship. A lot of things happen really early in Legend that will happen later in the book, and there are some things that don’t even happen in the book that happen in the series.

IGN: How is it filming down in New Zealand?

Regan: It’s great. It’s perfect for the show. It’s absolutely perfect. The crew and everyone who’s working on it…there’s been so much filming there since, you know, Lord of the Rings. They worked on King Kong and Narnia, Last Samurai. There’ve just been a lot of movies that have been filmed there.
