My first post on this website was one where I discussed books I felt would make a great Cinematic Universes. I was elated a few weeks ago when I learned that DMG Entertainment made a licensing and film deal for Brandon Sanderson’s Comere Universe. Here’s a link to TOR’s announcement.
The team has already selected screenwriters for The Way of Kings. It also appears as if The Final Empire is on the horizon.
My reaction:
First off, I’m totally geeked out about it. I didn’t just select this book because I thought it’d make a good universe; I selected it because I WANT to see these movies. If I ruled the world, I’d rather see the Mistborn movies first, but I trust Sanderson as a creator. He wouldn’t just hand his work to anyone for any reason. Everything this man does is done with purpose and the desire to tell the best story possible.
So that’s it for today. I just wanted to be a smug SOB for a moment and celebrate the news. No, I don’t think my blog had anything to do with it, but it doesn’t devalue the idea.
So now that we know what movie is coming up first, any dream casting? Who would you cast as Kalidin or Syl? Do you think they made the right call going with Stormlight first?
Thanks for reading
Matt
Hopefully they do it justice for you! ^_^

Yeah, I’m going to be VERY un-objective of this saga. I’m a judgmental person, but these stories are precious to me, and I won’t appreciate anything less than great.

That’s how I feel about them making The Dark Tower series into movies and tv series.

I’m not so great with faces or casting sometimes. I’d know one if I saw someone that fit, but I’m terrible with things off the cuff. Though I think the gal from Rouge One, might make for a good Vin.

My problem is that I don’t follow the Hollywood set. I like movies, characters etc but I couldn’t tell you who acted in most of them. I never got to vested in the lives of people who were paid to pretend they were someone else. I realize how that sounds, coming from a fiction author… but I don’t expect readers to care about me. Just my writing.
