Lequin Books to be Made into Anime

I keep seeing this everywhere:

Studio Ghibli annaounced that its next film will be an adaptation of Ursula K. Leguin's EARTHSEA novels, to be directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of famed visionary Hayao. It will be based on the 3rd and 4th books in the series, namely THE FARTHEST SHORE and TEHANU.

Unlike the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series that was based on the first two. I have never read the books and I was less than impressed with the Leguin panned Sc-fi channel version. But the poster is gorgeous and looks very promising!
