It won a Hugo award, my wife who is not into fantasy really liked it (and is almost on the verge of reading more Sanderson books), and if they spent money on the visual design for the setting, the costumes, and great actors, it could be a relatively inexpensive movie to make but it would still be awesome. There would need to be some CGI, but pretty minimal compared to other Cosmere stories. It's definitely my favorite of the novella's. I think that it along with 6th Of The Dusk would also be fairly cheap to make. There really wouldn't need to be any CG in either film. The most CGI in 6th would be the nightmaws. But they could just never show them to get around it. Out of all of them you are right, The Emperor's Soul has the strongest story. Plus we would get a Hoid cameo 1

That would be just plain awesome. 1

That would be just plain awesome. It would be the best! Though I don't know if we would get that... I only say that because even big name actors like RDJ are getting tired of the MCU. Not everyone can be Sam Jackson. If we were to get a consistent Hoid it would probably be a no name or B-tier actor. Or ... whispers or, what if (even though he doesn't look the part) we convinced Brandon to play Hoid. He's not by any stretch of the word an actor but I would love it 1

Give him a white wig and I'd buy that for a dollar! (obscure reference to 80's Arnold Scwarzenegger movie, can you guess which one?) 8 hours ago, Fanghur Rahl said: Nah, Matt Smith or David Tennant. If you're going to go the Doctor Who route, than someone who approximates Tom Baker's Dr. Who would be amazing. 22 minutes ago, Johhny_Eastland said: It would be the best!

I don't know how Brandon would look with a drooping mustache, but that could be rad. 1

I’ll guess on Terminator for the fun of guessing.

Why of course. It completely changes the course of the movie’s events. Honestly, though, seeing Brandon in those roles would be the one part that I would search for each movie.

What a beautiful son of a slontze.
