Cosmere Adaptation Announcement
Oranjejuicemonki replied to Treamayne's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Ya makes sense. I've never known that Catholics would rather people say Church of Christ, but then you can just add Catholic to that like how Latter Day Saints is added to the name of the Church of Jesus Christ. -
Cosmere Adaptation Announcement
Oranjejuicemonki replied to Treamayne's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I have a similar concern that I don't want the adaptations to be super explicit. I wouldn't enjoy watching that and I do want to watch adaptations of the Cosmere. I don't think if it is explicit that you have to take that as confirmation that the books you've always loved is the same way. If the adaptations are super bad then I won't watch them but they're adaptations so they've changed. Hopefully that makes you feel better. I always try to see adaptations in that way. They're a different, but very similar story. -
Cosmere Adaptation Announcement

I'd probably say "One might understand Mr Sanderson's writing as being informed by his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." Also if you said by his Mormonism or just Church of Latter Day Saints like you did, most everyone will know what you're talking about so it's not a super big deal. The only thing is if you want to be accurate in using the name to express the beliefs then the most important part of the name is Jesus Christ. -

Cosmere Adaptation Announcement
Oranjejuicemonki replied to Treamayne's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Valid. I don't think any Cosmere adaptations will be better than the original books. That's ridiculous to even think about. I am still excited to see what happens. This is also super valid. I'd rather get a good Mistborn movie that's also different cause either way I'm gonna like the books more, but I want to have an adaptation that's enjoyable. Now if it could be faithful to the original and an amazing film that'd be a different story entirely. I believe I would still rather the books, but I honestly could not tell you if I would rather a completely book accurate adaptation or with a few new ideas if they were both gonna be amazing in this fictional situation. I think Brandon and Frustration both have good points with how adaptations should be changed or preserved. All in all, I think the most important thing with adaptations is the feeling you get from it. The LOTR movies were definitely not exactly the same as the books, but they kept enough similarities and when they added things it seemed legitimate. Watching those movies brings me joy because it reminds me of the books that I know and love. This is what I'm hoping for the Cosmere adaptations. -
Ah, that's actually cause they are. The real bells broke a few weeks ago and we just brought some goats up there cause that's a good enough replacement don't ya think? Why did you paint the owl on Thursday?

Cosmere Adaptation Announcement
Oranjejuicemonki replied to Treamayne's topic in General Brandon Discussion
You may not want to watch any of the adaptations then. Brandon has said on Intentionally Blank that he thinks the point of adaptations is the adaptation part like where you change things just a little. He says if it's all exactly the same it'd just be boring. I think Misborn's adaptation will be similar but also different. (Idk what episode off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to find and quote it so you'll have to just take my word for it. I'll bet he says something similar during the livestream later today though). I think I'll like it and I don't think anything will be changed too drastically. That said, if you go in expecting the exact same thing you'll probably be very disappointed because although Brandon has a lot of control, I can't imagine he's going to choose to do everything the same. -

Apple Buys Rights to Entire Cosmere!
Oranjejuicemonki commented on Chaos's article in Brandon and Book News
They can just make adaptations. One part of this specific agreement though is that Brandon will have more control than almost any author has ever had in their adaptations. Everything will have to go through him first and he has said that he's doing the Mistborn screenplay for the next few months so maybe he'll do that for all of them, maybe not. At this point, Brandon has so much control that I feel if the adaptations are trash it's his fault. That gives me a lot of hope because I trust him and I feel like he's doing this the right way. I don't think they'll be trash. Also there will be a livestream on his YouTube channel today (at 6 if I'm remembering correctly) where he'll definitely explain a little more in detail. -

Might be me. I was following the elephant through the pipes cause I know Olifantongue and it brought me through many walls, eventually leading me to the Chamber of the Pachyderm. Why did you cultivate the cactus into a chair shape, that seems like a cruel and unusual punishment.
