Apple TV has enlisted author Brandon Sanderson to write the script for a film adaptation of Mistborn, the fantasy series that helped define his career. Sanderson confirmed that he has finished the first draft of the screenplay.
The project has no release date yet. Apple TV has not announced a director, cast, or production timeline for the film.
Mistborn is described as a mash-up of The Lord of the Rings and Dune, blending epic quest stakes with a harsh, resource-driven world. That comparison places it in the same conversation as two of the most influential fantasy and science fiction franchises.
