Karger Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 This needs to be a movie. Enough said. I know that some of you must be film students. Your great Brandon Sanderson high priest commands you... In all serious though this book was surprisingly cinematic. All of he characters have wonderful quirks that would be very easily portrayed and the world itself would create some amazing opportunities for images. I think this book might be the best of any of brandon's for a story that is easily adapted to another medium. Anyone have actors in mind for different characters. Music? Direction? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been confirmed that Brandon is talking wit Hollywood. Speculations were always that the material targeted were established worlds. Because they are known to readers. But by the time a movie were made the Secret Projects will be well known. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 This book would make an amazing movie. The art in the book is already incredible, though I'm a little disappointed we didn't get a clearer picture of the two oceans mixing. If it's made into a movie, one thing is certain. Every one of the Dougs must be played by the same actor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philomath Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Ooh. Can it be Enola Holmes style so we can occasionally get the witty interjections and 4th wall breaks by Hoid. That would be one way to preserve the idea that he is telling the story without using the frame story idea just like Brandon did. I do feel like this would indeed make a great movie. I think that this might be one of the easiest of Brandon’s books to actually condense to a 2 hour timeframe while still keeping the spirit of it and not having the characterization suffer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireandAshes Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I had your exact same thought OP. Especially the Crimson sea scenes felt very cinematic, I would give anything to see huge spikes shooting up alongside rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a great introduction to Sanderson's style of writing in which heroics both make sense and are properly planed ahead of time (just like real life!). I also think a group of good actors under the right direction could make the scene where her father calls in favors really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanLemon Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 This has quickly become one of my favorite Sanderson books. I'd love to see this as a movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werewolff Studios Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Agreed. Having Hoid do the narrative voiceover would be fantastic, and he could even call attention to certain cinematic tropes rather than literary ones. One of Sanderson's most cinematic books so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspen of the Glass Sea Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 The story is so visual, too- with the color-coded spores and moons. It would look amazing as a movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coffee Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm not sure who the audience is, but I thought it was Kaladin for a while. It should be a deliberate Princess Bride parody with Hoid telling the story to a fully adult Kaladin who is trying to sleep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinningSky Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 It would make an excellent movie, both for visuals and because, being a shorter story, you'd need to cut far less out to make it fit! Actualy, this could very easily make an incredible animated movie more than probably any other Cosmere story (I'm for for real-life adaptation for everything else) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
