This just in-
fantasy author and giant in the literary world Brandon Sanderson just finished a HUGE deal with Apple for his “Cosmere” universe.
Reportedly, Apple is looking to adapt “Mistborn” as a film (or films), and “The Stormlight Archives” for series.
Update
Sanderson took to the Cosmere reddit to comment on the happenings himself:
“The decision to pick Apple was due to two factors. First, the level of approvals and control. Apple wants to be a true partner with me, and they feel like they really get what I want to do. Second, their track record. Apple does fewer things, but with higher quality, than some other studios. I find virtually every thing of theirs I watch is excellent and creator driven.
Join me for a livestream on Friday [January 30th], probably 6pm mountain. I’ll talk more then. But I will be writing the Mistborn screenplay myself over the next 5 months, as my full time work. Goal is for a theatrical Mistborn, then Stormlight show after. Focus on doing it carefully and right.
I promise not to get too distracted to do books. However, if I want this done right, I need to give some real attention and heart to it now.”
