The author’s fantasy universe includes two best-selling series: ‘Mistborn’ and ‘The Stormlight Archive.’<\/b>
\nAs George R.R. Martin\u2018s Westeros continues to expand on HBO with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Middle-earth continues to fascinate audiences on both Prime Video and at the movie theater, another major fantasy book setting may soon be coming to screens. Brandon Sanderson\u2018s Cosmere books, which include his Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive series, have just been picked up by Apple TV.
Sanderson, fantasy fans will recall, helped finish Robert Jordan\u2019s Wheel of Time books after the author\u2019s death; Prime Video\u2019s series adaptation was cancelled last year. Apple TV appears to have a lot of confidence in the Cosmere universe\u2019s lasting appeal, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news, calling it an \u201cunprecedented deal.\u201d
It also came \u201cafter a competitive situation which saw Sanderson meet with most of the studio heads in town,\u201d THR reports.
It\u2019s so unusual because \u201cit gives the author rarefied control over the screen translations, according to sources. Sanderson will be the architect of the universe, will write, produce and consult, and have approvals,\u201d according to THR.
The trade points to Sanderson\u2019s power as a best-selling author (over 50 million books to date) and his robust fan base as a reason for this level of control. He\u2019s a frequent fixture at conventions and even hosts his own annual event, Dragonsteel Nexus. He has such a following that his 2022 Kickstarter, ahead of the publication of four new books, raised over $40 million, setting a new record for the crowdfunding platform at the time.
THR reports that Apple TV is currently hoping to make features based on the Mistborn books, while The Stormlight Archive would become a TV series on the streamer.
Will Sanderson\u2019s magic-fueled tales become fantasy TV and movies\u2019 next obsession? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n
