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

name a lot and have thought about buying one of his books. I assume the genre is fantasy/sci-fi?

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.

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

SpiffCoug

He's getting too big. ANd writing and doing too many things.. Can't keep up now

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.

BlueBlood

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

He's never gonna finish the 3rd book.

That is a concern.

Scott Lynch's "Gentlemen Bastards" series is decent, though the prevailing

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.
