Overview
- Apple is eyeing Mistborn for feature films and The Stormlight Archive for a TV series, with Blue Marble attached to executive produce the Stormlight adaptation.
- Brandon Sanderson will write, produce, and consult on the screen projects while retaining approval rights that reports describe as unusually extensive.
- No directors, writers, cast, or release timelines have been named, underscoring that development is at an early stage.
- Sanderson’s leverage was buoyed by more than 50 million books sold and record-setting crowdfunding campaigns, along with an active fan convention.
- Apple prevailed after Sanderson met with multiple studio heads, aligning the Cosmere with the company’s broader push into prestige genre worlds like Foundation and Silo.
