We’re excited to announce that DMG Entertainment has bought the film and licensing rights to Brandon Sanderson’s “Cosmere” universe in one of the largest literary deals of the year! Though his books unfold in different worlds and time periods, the “Cosmere” universe links most of Sanderson’s writing through an intricate system of magic. “Sanderson’s library of present and future material provides one of the greatest story and character universes ever created,” said Dan Mintz, DMG founder.

The first movie in production is THE WAY OF KINGS, which is the first book in Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series. Screenwriters Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (veterans of the “Saw” films) will adapt the book. Mintz will produce the film and Sanderson will serve as an executive producer. DMG is simultaneously adapting the first book in Sanderson’s Mistborn series, THE FINAL EMPIRE.

“The people at DMG aren’t just producers or financiers. They’re fans,” Sanderson said. “From the first moment we met, I knew they understood my vision and goals for the Cosmere, and I’ve been excited to work with them in bringing their vision for the universe to the screen.”
