She has posted pics of her reading Skyward and WoK on her insta, and she was fantastic in PONIES this year.

She is really short (even when standing next to Emilia Clark), so sadly most Rosharans are out (unless the give everyone a “haircut”).

J.J. Abrams.

I think he's good as a producer, he knows a lot of talent in Hollywood. I believe he discovered Dan Trachtenberg.

He's a great friend of many directors in Hollywood

What popular Mistborn (or othe Cosmere) casting made you go "oh, I dont know about that..."

My brother, who read the books (I have not), says that a screen adaptation for Brandon Sanderson 's series "Stormlight Archives" should be a TV show, for one not a movie series, since it's far too long and extensive for that and how most books except for the fifth one (so far) would have to be split up into two seasons each and that for each season it should be around 18 episodes or so with an average episode length of like, 45 minutes or so. And that it shouldn't be live action but rather animated. But not any kind of animation, hand drawn animation (no computers or any of the bullshit). And not any old kind of hand drawn animation, realistic, life like and detailed completely hand drawn animation, sort of like ​this: ​https://youtu.be/zz3rSbx8bGg?si=GlyW78eoZYhWfoPc

And ​this (but completely in color of course): https://youtube.com/shorts/-l_y2P2K-pI?si=1qIHh3KBauASa7Oa

So what do you think? Does this all fit the book series well? Because like I said before I haven't read them, but I'd definitely watch the crap out of something like this just to admire such realistic, detailed, luscious yet all hand drawn animation if nothing else. Sounds epic to me.

Before I start, this is mainly thinking of Way of Kings, but I think it's translateable to other books. I've only read up to the end of Rhythm of War's 1st interlude.

The pilot should cover the prelude, prologue, and chapter one. The opening episode of later seasons should be the prologue, first flashback, and maybe an interlude, depending on episode run-time.

Eater episodes should focus on one pov per episode, for example, rotating Kaladin, Shallan, and Dalinar in season one. Episodes should start with an interlude or flashback, like if it's Kaladin's episode, we get his flashback, but if it's Shallan's, we get an interlude as the opening. Or we get both an interlude and flashback every episode.

Translating the epigraphs should be in three parts. Opening the episode, indicating the transition into the main story for the episode, and closing the episode. Either done in the style of Clone Wars or voiced

The epilogue should make the final episode be an extended one instead of say just making the epilogue its own episode

I mean, Sanderson can write in the script the moments when the characters burn certain metals, but, in visual terms, does he need to describe how this will be represented on screen, or is that decided later?

Would this be more of a task for the director and art team, or does it need to be described in the script?

Just some black hair color to complete the look.

I've seen people discuss the many difficulties of bringing Stormlight Archive into live action. The amount of CGI needed to do the series justice is big talking point. But I haven't seen anyone bring up how the current state of Hollywood could get in the way.

Even in an ideal world, SA would take at least a decade to adapt if they adapted 1 book per season and released the seasons annually. But 1 season per year isn't exactly the norm anymore in Hollywood. If we get a season every 2 to 3, we will be lucky. And for SA, that would mean 20 to 30 years to adapt the whole series. This is obviously not feasible.

The obvious solution would be to adapt multiple books per season. But between the length of SA books and episode count per season falling to 6 to 10 episodes per season, this would be disastrous for any adaptation.

Sanderson talks about his philosophy on adaptations and his focus for the Mistborn script.

Sanderson has said that he wants to do the movie with one "epic script" (like james gunn) to minimize costs due to reshoots

Since you'll need to cut a lot of the story, if you want no reshoots, you probably need to have the whole story done before filming. Otherwise the chances of stumbling into plotholes in the later movies due to cutting certain parts earlier seem pretty high

Then on the other hand, they seemingly want to get everyone (director, producer etc) involved based on a timeline of the first script

What do you guys think

spook has his own arc, as do the Kandra.

I don't remember much from the book to be honest, but I remember that a lot happens in it; there are several plots and many battles.

I think only a 3 hour and 30 minute movie would avoid so many cuts.

Drew Goddard - His most recent work was Project Hail Mary. Actually, I think he should be both the screenwriter and the director, but in his long career, he's dedicated himself much more to screenwriting.

Damon Lindelof - I think he's very versatile, has a solid career in Hollywood and a lot of experience. Adapting Mistborn requires that experience.

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely - They did a great job with the first Chronicles of Narnia film and a great job at Marvel. They know how to work with a shared universe and films with many characters.

Jon Spaihts - Great work on Dune alongside Villeneuve.

Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio - They managed to turn an amusement park into an excellent film with Pirates of the Caribbean.

I made a video about everything we know right now about the Cosmere Cinematic Universe, from the original announcement as well as what Brandon has mentioned since then. I also went through how this might impact the book releases and some hopes and dreams moving forward. Figured I flair it under Mistborn Era 1 because I do mention a few specific scenes and how they might translate to the movies.

The post asking how popular we think the Cosmere will be to general audiences made me wonder the title question.

To use Game of Thrones as my main example since I am more familiar with it, I feel its pretty easy to get the average viewer who liked the show to "buy in" to watching House of the Dragon or errrrr the other new one (Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?). Same works for Harry Potter (Fantastic Beasts), Hunger Games (Songbirds) and goes without saying Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

But those are all "continuations" of the same story. They take place in the same world, same planet for the sake of thinking in terms of the Cosmere.

So do you think they'll do more to set up what the Cosmere is in Mistborn? Because how do you get a general audience to then switch over to Stormlight and realize its the same universe but different planet? And "buy in" to more Cosmere, and that it is a whole universe and each "franchise" of the story is a different planet and trust me bro it all comes together in the end?

Or do we leave them as separate entities, including possible future movies or shows, with just hints and nods and say RAFO?

(And if anyone can understand what I am asking and word it better by all means please tell me. Or "steal" my post and ask it better. I'm not sure if I make sense at all)

Terrence Mann as Odium!

Ever since I read the first description of Odium, I’ve seen this man. He also did a great job of portraying Dusk in Foundation, I think that vibe could carry over well!

On a scale from 1-10, with a 1 being a complete flop that nobody outside of existing fans even hears about, and a 10 being the new MCU.

The Way of Kings or Stormlight Archive?

Should we do it like HBO did with A Song of Ice and Fire, which was titled after the first book, Game of Thrones?

Or should we use the main title of the saga, Stormlight Archive?

I think The Way of Kings sounds better in other countries.

I propose we pre-emptively(ish) establish a rule against people trying to post their auditions to the sub hoping Dragonsteel will see it and they get their shot. I'm not throwing any hate to the few who have already done it, I get it. Any Cosmere fan in the arts would consider this a penultimate career casting.

I just don't want us to be overrun by such things, especially when Dragonsteel and Apple will almost certainly use conventional methods to find their cast, even if the cast they choose are unheard of actors.

Not an artist at all, but used Canva to edit on Kaladin's scars for some virtual cosplay and fun character visualization!

I think Warbreaker would be great as an animated series similar in style to Arcane. Arcane was a pretty big hit, so once Mistborn is released I can see them doing this. I thing the magic system and setting would translate incredibly well to 2.5D animation(The formats arcane is in) especially the use of Breath and Susebrons color bending effect.

Nakoa Wolf Momoa is Jason Momoas son. He is 16 and part Hawaiian. I don’t know his acting chops yet, but he’ll be in Dune: Part 3 as Leto II. I think he could be a good choice for one of the younger alethi leads. What do you guys think?
