Medgell Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I heard that there is going to be a Mistborn movie. It has a page on IMDB titles “Mistborn The Final Empire” but had almost no other content other than a writer (who has done some movies starring Vin Diesal which worries me). Has anyone else’s heard anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Once per year, brandon posts a "state of the sanderson" on his site, where he keeps us updated on everything that happened concerning his projects in the last year. The last one is here. if you scroll it down, you'll find the section where he talks about movie adaptation. Long story short: turning a book into a movie is a lenghty process. The various companies buy rights to make adaptation all the time, because it's relatively cheap, but they rarely go forward with the project. brandon has sold rights to make adaptation several times, but so far nothing came out of it. there are a few of his works that look like they may get produced soon, and mistborn may come, but it's all "maybe" and "eventually" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion of the Mists Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 FWIW, he's consistently said that Snapshot is the furthest along in the process and the most likely to actually be released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Currently, DMG Entertainment has the rights to the Cosmere adaptations, and both Mistborn and The Way of Kings are in screenwriting for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I sometimes wonder if a movie is best, it worked for LOTR; sure but I don't know if these novels can be simplified enough. TV series on an HBO budget would be surreal. It's why I cannot wait for Wheel of Time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDwag Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I think believer by imagine dragon would be a great song to go with the trailer for mistborn the opening beat of the song would go great with a coin flip Also it's a great mistborn theme song Edited July 30, 2019 by JDwag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Please no pop songs in my epic fantasy! I'm among those who strongly oppose the idea of any Cosmere-related movie adaptation, but if there was to be one for the original Mistborn trilogy, I would hope for more of a choir-based soundtrack, at best comparable to Whitacre's When David Heard.

Bookish Ocelot Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I feel like Mistborn and maybe Warbreaker would do well as movies. Stormlight I would like to see as a TV show. Soundtracks? I would prefer orchestral, but I could understand why one would want pop songs in the trailers. Get people interested. But an original theme is so much better. Star War's opening soundtrack is one of the most famous. Marvel's The Avengers has a recurring one as well. Wait. Better idea The soundtrack for all the Cosmere movies is just Kaladin badly playing the flute. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wander89 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 We are definitely getting the Parshendi to do a new Lion King - Hakuna Matata-style dance/beat/theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottTheBrave Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Has anyone thought about who they'd cast in a Mistborn movie? I keep thinking Millie Bobbie Brown would be a great Vin in a couple years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toaster Retribution Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Jake Gyllenhaal for Kelsier. Far From Home convinced me that that would be utterly awesomemazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 I don't think a movie adaptation could do his work justice. Leave it as a book, thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am dead-set on Lily-Rose Aslandogdu (I would just Google-search her name, or watch the Save The Children video that stars her) as Vin. I figure by the time they start filming she would be the right age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gak Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 as fun as movies would be, they wouldn't be able to compare to the books, im afraid we would just get another Artemis fowl/Percy Jackson, great book, horrid movie. the only thing that wold work is a tv show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just throwing it out there as a crazy idea but... I’d love to see Mistborn given to Wonderstorm. I’ve been rewatching Avatar and watching The Dragon Prince, and I just kept thinking that it would be awesome to see Mistborn done that way. I think animation could serve Mistborn really well, and the Wonderstorm team has experience with unusual and unique worlds and fantastic magic systems. They also do complex, multi-season stories that resonate on all levels and deal with some pretty horrific things - while still ostensibly being for kids. No, I don’t know how they do that. It would also mean could be Elend voiced by the same guy who voices Sokka and Callum. Which would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
