Brandon Sanderson updates on Apple’s Mistborn movie, script inspiration

Prolific fantasy author Brandon Sanderson is underway in bringing his Cosmere universe to the big screen after striking a mega-deal with Apple TV. As he relayed on Wednesday in a new episode of his podcast Intentionally Blank, it’s not the first time Mistborn has been on the adaptation track, but it is the first time he’s overseeing it all himself. And in writing the script, he’s looking to a very specific Hollywood playbook for inspiration: the filmmaking process of writer, director, and DC Studios chief James Gunn.
