Brandon Sanderson has some good news for those of you who are fans of his Mistborn series: it’s going to be a movie.
The blog update includes a press release along with some thoughts from Sanderson.
When Chris Geary emailed me about making a Mistborn movie, I really thought nothing of it—I just assumed it was another nibble that would go nowhere. But then Chris showed how incredibly serious they were—when I was in New York he flew there to meet me and explained his really great and exciting plans for the movie adaptation. When I read Paloppa’s script treatment for the beginning of the story I immediately felt that they truly understood the book and how to adapt it.
It’s a little early to get too excited, seeing as there’s a long path from optioning the rights to the eventual release. However, it’s always great to see serious plans for a fantasy film, especially one as unique as Mistborn.

any idea of the release date?

Not yet. It’s still far too early for that. We’re still in the “let’s hope it doesn’t fall apart before production starts” phase.

oh great!
well lets hope that then and lets also hope that the movie is as good as the book and NOT at all like harry potter movies!

Just read the first book of the Mistborn trilogy. Loved it! Curious to see who would play Vin’s role in the film. I’d be very envious.

I hope they treat it with respect and write a great script, seeing as they are very long books there’s plenty of things that are sure to be left out. Let’s hope they make it worthwhile and don’t do some cheap movie like “Eragon” was.

Only one person can do this justice – Peter Jackson.

Omg are you serious? Its finally becoming a movie? Take as much time needed, please do not leave out anything,making short cuts for it will ruin the story, leave everything in it, make it a sequel if you must. The actor and actress does not matter for the story is magnificent itself. Do not do it for just the money, do it with love and passion and you know what I mean.. For money will definitely come. Wow!!!!…. This is the movie of the decade, I don’t think any movie can top this.
