Mistborn Movie Script Finished
Brandon Sanderson completes screenplay for fantasy epic, now revising based on Apple TV feedback
Brandon Sanderson has finished the script for the Mistborn movie, which is being developed by Apple TV. The movie is an adaptation of Sanderson's fantasy epic, which was originally published over two decades ago.
The Mistborn series, which has six books split across multiple 'eras', was originally published in 2006 with the publication of The Final Empire. The series has a dedicated fanbase and is one of the most successful fantasy series of all time.
Sanderson is writing the entire Mistborn screenplay himself, which is a significant undertaking given the size of the original book. The Mistborn book has approximately 200,000 words, while the screenplay has approximately 20,000 words.
Apple has given Sanderson feedback on the script, and he is now working on revisions based on this feedback. Sanderson is also working on a TV series adaptation of The Stormlight Archive, although he expects to bring in a writing partner for that project.
## What's Next The completion of the Mistborn script is a significant milestone for the project, which has been in development for several years. With the script now in revisions, the next step will be to move forward with production.
## Why it Matters The Mistborn series has a large and dedicated fanbase, and the movie adaptation has been highly anticipated. The success of the movie could have a significant impact on the fantasy genre as a whole, and could potentially lead to further adaptations of Sanderson's work.
The Mistborn series is set in a unique and complex world, where people known as Allomancers have the ability to inherit magical powers by consuming metal. The series has been praised for its detailed world-building and complex characters, and the movie adaptation will need to balance the needs of both new and existing fans.
## Background The Mistborn series is part of the larger Cosmere universe, which is home to multiple book series and a dedicated fanbase. The series has been expanded to include official RPG sourcebooks, which will be released later this year. These sourcebooks will include a handbook and world guide, as well as a legacy adventure for fans of the series.
