I’m so excited. Apple has a pretty good track record of producing quality shows and movies.
I like that they have the rights for all of the Cosmere and didn’t just auction off Mistborn or Stormlight in pieces. Having a universe of shows/movies (like when Marvel was in its prime) might be what they’re hoping for with this sort of decision.
I swear apple shows are picked based off what books the executives are reading or have read
I’ve heard of him from his contributions to Wheel of Time but I don’t think I’ve read any of his other stuff. He sounds quite prolific given this “universe” seems to encompas multiple series of books.
I’ve only really read his Mistborn novels but I loved them. I’ve been meaning to read more of his stuff, so this is exciting news.
Are any of the Cosmere series finished and ready for an adaptation? Or are we looking at a Game of Thrones situation here?
Mistborn era 1 and 2 are ready to go. Stormlight Archive is close to wrapping up its first big story arc with its 5th book coming soon. Elantris, Warbreaker, Arcanum Unbound, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, Tress and the Emerald Sea, and Isles of the Emberdark would make a good miniseries each. He has plenty of material to adapt and they all range from good to outstanding.
Book 5 of stormlight archives came out in 2024.
I’m conflicted. I fucking love Sanderson and fucking hate Apple in equal amounts…
