Do you have any considerations for ever turning any of your works into a movie?
Yeah, I’ve sold rights on Alcatraz and those eventually lapsed. They had the option for three years. I’ve sold rights on Mistborn. That’s still going strong. I’ve had inquiries about a couple of others. I can’t say, though, because there’s nothing sure. Though we did do the Mistborn video game and the handshake, is essentially a done deal now. We’ve just got to get the contract, fine details nailed down. Yes. Mistborn video game is a go. It’s for sure.
Tentative dates?
Which company?
I can’t say that, though it is going to be cross-platform, all three major platforms, so PC, 360, and PS3. The plan right now is that it is going to be a prequel. (Everyone “oooohs”) So it’ll have new story and I’ll be writing the story.
Speaking of videogames, I don’t know if you or anyone else here have noticed the similarities in the storyline of Fable III and Mistborn.
You know, people have said that to me and I haven’t played Fable III.
It’s really uncanny. Yours was written first, obviously, but going through it I was just like, “I wonder if he knows how parallel this runs.”
I’ll have to play those.
I can actually get you a copy.
You can get me a copy? Hey, get me copies! Yeah, hey, he works for Microsoft!
For real.
Okay. I’ve got a 360. Epic Games sent me a 360 so I might as well play with it!
Is that for the Mistborn…?
No, I’m working with Epic on something else. I’ll be able to announce that eventually, but Epic’s got a studio in Salt Lake and so I’ve been working with them on something. But that’s not official so I can’t say anything about that.
