Paloppa Pictures LLC and Brandon Sanderson are pleased to announce that Paloppa has taken an option on film rights to Sanderson’s NY Times bestselling Mistborn fantasy trilogy!

Here’s more, excerpted from the official announcement:

The principals in Paloppa Pictures LLC are Christopher Geary, Rob Micai and Marc Bryant. Micai is a co-producer of the forthcoming Letters to God, a Possibility Pictures release through Vivendi-Universal; all three have extensive backgrounds in film and television. Paloppa Pictures is currently in development on three feature film projects with the first scheduled to start production in late 2010/early 2011.

Said Geary, “As I was reading the book I felt more and more that this was a story that just had to be seen on the big screen. I contacted Brandon Sanderson, and was able to persuade him that Paloppa Pictures was the right team for the job. Obviously we’re very excited by the opportunity to bring his work to life.”

Congratulations, Brandon! We at JABberwocky can’t wait to see this in the theater!
