Brandon Sanderson’s work will be the next possibility. In preparation for his Mistborn trilogy he studied Tolkien and what made adaptation to film so successful.



Look, I love Brandon and the Cosmere but Mistborn was his first work and its really not that great. It is quite cinematic however. It will not come close to LOTR

His other work, Stormlight, that's being adapted as a series for Apple would be closer but its really just not in the same level, or even within 3-4 levels

No, it really is

Last week at FanX Salt Lake:

Collider: ‘Mistborn’ Movie Script Is Officially Finished as Brandon Sanderson Reveals Next Step

quote:

I've turned in the first draft. It's actually secretly the second draft because I did a bunch of revisions on the first. It's actually like the 18th. I think I was on 1.17 when I turned it in. Apple's had it, and they've given me their feedback. So now my job is revisions. I gotta go, and I gotta find a way to navigate getting what they want into the story.”


And he actually streamed this with his update 4 hrs ago:

quote:

Mistborn Screenplay 2.0. Um, I'm going to give this a 10% bing. Uh, this one's kind of hard because, uh, I actually haven't started working on writing the 2.0 yet. What I've done is I've worked on responses to, uh, Apple about how I think we should approach revising the screenplay. Right? So, this one's going to be a little more vague for me. Um, I'm sending that to them today. Um, and then I'm going to fly out and talk over with them what to do and then we'll be doing the actual revision. So, anyway, it's going to be a a little bit of a long and windy road to get the Mistborn Born screenplay 2.0 done
