SpeakoftheDeval Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I know it’s an awfully long way away at the moment- but imagine a future where dmg has released the first season of the storm light tv show or the first mistborn movie and it does remarkably well- what are the chances Disney will be eyeing an acquisition of dmg or rights for the cosmere? I doubt they’d have all that many rivals for the buy- but who might be able to get there before then? Do you think they’d restart their own Disney made cosmere from scratch or continue the dmg one?

I don't know. I am very skeptical of Stormlight and Mistborn adaptations actually happening, DMG will shop it around a little but they won't really commit. Both of these would be incredibly difficult to make without massive changes to the source material and would be way more expensive and narrowly appealing than most of their competitor IPs. And on the Disney question, they are really pushing the limits of how much market share they can get away with. I doubt that they would want to buy another studio or IP rights when that might finally prompt anti-trust action from even a conservative government, especially when they already have so many popular IPs to fall back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy he/him Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) I honestly don't think they'll ever happen. Brandon is important enough to be entitled to have a word in adaptions of his works (at least it seems he always made sure he did up till now) and he has a pretty strict quality standard. So he'll presumably hinder anything less than satifying from happening. And it will be crazy hard to do anything satisfying. His stories aren't made for the pacing of visual mediums. Too much information. I'm not saying that it's impossible to make a convincing adaptation, but it would take a miracle and a lot of courage and alterations for it to happen. So I don't have high hopes, or any at all. And it's good that way. I don't need an adaptation. The books are great the way they are and I don't see a need for adaptations. There's certainly a market, but that should not be the only reason to do it. Which brings me to the next point: God no, not Disney. Even if it happens, that would be the worst. I would sign petitions from keeping them from doing it. It would become the next money piling apperatus. It would ache my heart to see that happen to the Cosmere.
