Congratulations to Writing Excuses for being nominated for Best Related Work category for the second year in a row.

But what this post is about is progress on the Mistborn Movie front! Since Brandon announced the movie deal a number of years ago, there has been very little mention of this, or of the studio, Paloppa Pictures. Brandon said today that they have been sending him drafts of the screenplay as it comes along. The most recent draft has Brandon "extremely excited." He says that it has a nice balance of staying true to the spirit of the book, while being able to be made into a movie.

Now that they're more or less satisfied with the screenplay, they are now working on finding a studio that would like to produce it. So if you know someone in the business, go ahead and give Brandon an email.

But something that has me way excited is the trailor that they released for the movie. It's not a "trailer" trailer, it's just a clip of a bunch of different movies that helps capture the spirit of the film. But man, it's awesome.

In other news, Peter has given a recent update on Big Books (as in not YA or novellas):

"Next book should come out October/November 2013. Then probably another one a year later. Then in 2015, an Elantris sequel. Then two more Stormlight Archive books. Then the second Mistborn trilogy. Then five more Stormlight Archive books. Assuming Brandon doesn't change his mind. "

Brandon is also having a Q&A of sorts on Google+. Submit a question, and upvote ones that you want asked

here. It'll be on Hangout at about 11:00pm EST on April 17th.

I saw a new post in this thread and thought "more updates on the Mistborn Movie?" I was disappointed for a moment, but now I'm back on wondering about Rosharian Tide Patterns, which would also be a sweet name for a band.

OMG! This is so cool! This is so exciting! (Okay, I'm a newbie here even though I joined a long time ago and was obviously distracted elsewhere.) Anyway, I'm still way into the prospects for a Mistborn movie and love what I've seen in this thread. I acknowledge that the nature of the trilogy renders it's transition to the silver screen difficult, but I don't believe it an impossible undertaking! I can so see the crew (although I can't imagine the actors) in the throes of all three novels. Let's just say, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this!

That... looks amazing.

If Mistborn was turned into a movie... My goodness, I think it could go so far. The story is so magical, the world so elaborate, the characters so true and beautiful...

I think a movie adaption would make it as well known as (if not more popular than) Eragon. I can see it becoming a classic along the same lines as Lord of the Rings...

Thank you for sharing this! It's absolutely amazing. That "preview" made me all twitchy and shivery with excitement and pure wonder.

Now I'm waiting for the movie to come out. Whenever it does. That was a nice snip-and-paste of random movies to be made into one movie. I really can't wait! (Why did you have to show me?)

Guess not. And Roshar must have some insanely difficult to predict tides.

the moon is not the only thing to cause tides. so does the sun. the moon is just exponentially closer to earth than the sun and there for has little influence over the tide. on scadrial preaccenssion would have had extremely high tides due to its closeness to the sun
