Apple has landed the rights to turn ‘MISTBORN’ into a film franchise & ‘THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE’ into a TV series.

Brandon Sanderson will write, produce and consult on all projects.

Holy shite. Wow.

That is a spectacular spot. You could not ask for anything better than that.

AppleTV running it and Sanderson is writing and producing it. Really couldn't have asked for a better situation to adapt these.

Nice. Mistborn as movies and Stormlight as a series is pretty much perfect.

It gives the author rarefied control over the screen translations, according to sources. Sanderson will be the architect of the universe, will write, produce and consult, and have approvals.


That's great news.

He has long said that he has had many offers and come close but maintaining full control over most of it was a deal breaker

Glad he got it at such a great spot.

I thought Apple TV was being sold as parts.

AppleTV has a lot of the most prestigious and best shows in streaming.

They are bleeding money but Apple doesn't seem to care because they are still producing some of the biggest, most expensive, and best content

Yes I believe this was relegated to AppleTV. I heard DailyWire+ was Sandersons dream spot.

How do you get the races correct in these though?

Mistborn is easy, race translates roughly the same.

Stormlight they don't at all. The Alethi (most of the main characters) are roughly Mongolian but with more Arabic skin color. Szeth is the only high level character with roughly Caucasian features. I guess maybe Shallan is somewhat close

It was a joke that originated on this very board.

Iwy knows what I’m talking about.

Man I don't know, undertaking Stormlight in a non animated version is almost hard to imagine to me. It's so much. I mean I can't wait but I always just assumed if/when it got made, it was going to be animated.

I don't think you can pull that off. Going to have to be some race swaps.

Stormlight was so overwhelming for me by the end of book one this was pretty much every character in my head...

I hope they do Mistborn first just to see the Magic system.

They are going to have to shave down some of the story in Stormlight.

After reading everything (except for Wind and Truth) and talking about it here and on Facebook groups, I learned that I am in the very small minority that actually likes Mistborn Era 1 as much or better than Stormlight and Mistborn Era 2.

Wayne alone makes Era 2 better than Era 1 IMO

Man, I don’t at all.

Era 1 has some very amateur-ish prose. 2 is light years ahead. I prefer era 2 characters as well.
