Ever since Brandon Sanderson revealed his partnership with Apple TV to adapt his Cosmere universe, he’s been very transparent about the process. He’s given regular updates via his YouTube channel, though he has consistently stated<\/a> that it will be a while until we can actually watch this movie.<\/p>\n

But how long exactly will we have to wait? IGN had the chance to interview Sanderson<\/a> and ask him just how far away he thinks the Mistborn adaptation actually is. His answer, while disappointing for fans of the Cosmere books, is about what you’d expect.<\/p>\n

“I would imagine this is still many years off,” Sanderson told IGN. “I have to finish revisions on it, then will begin the hunt for a director, which is probably the single most important decision that we’ll make. Visual effects these days can take a good 18 months on a big film, or more. So even once we’ve filmed (which I imagine is a few years away), it could be two years before the film is ready for release. So let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Right now, my primary focus in that sphere is making the screenplay the best possible version of itself.”<\/p>\n
