I wonder if this explains why he's fallen off the pace?

He initially wanted to be done w/ Book 3 early this year. He is currently only 78% of the way through its first draft.

Looks like "The Stormlight Archive" will be "fast tracked" to the big screen

It's on book 2 of 10. So... that will be interesting.

Looks like they'll be doing mistborn right away as well.

Mistborn will make for the best movies IMO.

Stormlight does give kind of a different colour to fantasy, doesn't it?

Warbreaker could be a good movie as well.

Agree. That would be cool.

The book was rubbish, but am excited to see it in the theatre on the fortnight

I thoroughly enjoyed Mistborne.

woah. Bourne and Mistborn...together at last. EPIC!!

How in the world will it not be rated R, though?

10/27/16 1:55pm

Agree. I see more avenues to a bad Way of Kings movie than a good one.

He's been predicting a 2017 release for a while, at least since last Dec

And in that same blog entry, he said Stormlight would be his main writing focus. Clearly it hasn't been.

SpiffCoug

10/27/16 1:39pm

yeah, but that's always what he does. He's always doing projects between "big" writes.

plus, it was 3.5 years between stormlight 1 (Aug 2010) and 2 (Mar 2014).

To be fair, he wrote the final Wheel of Time book in that span as well, which

What others produce similar stuff to Brandon Sanderson? I've heard his

I'd echo that he had a sophomore and junior slump.

Lies of Locke Lamora is among best I've read. VERY entertaining.

He's comparable, I suppose, to Orson Scott Card

Mises

Robert Jordan, Brent Weeks and Michael Sullivan are pretty similar.

These things happen a lot, but not always do they become Big Screen movies.
