Selon Variety.com, il s’agit de l’un des accords les plus importants de l’année 2016 : DMG Entertainement a acquis les droits cinématographiques des romans de Brandon Sanderson situés dans l’univers Cosmere. DMG Entertainement s’est engagé à investir au moins 270 millions de dollars pour la production des trois premiers films !
Le scénario du premier devrait être écrit par Patrick Melton et Marcus Dunstan, deux des scénaristes de la série « Saw ». Brandon Sanderson et Joshua Bilmes, son agent littéraire (JABberwocky), seront producteurs exécutifs.
“The people at DMG aren’t just producers or financiers. They’re fans,” a déclaré Brandon. “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.”
When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail’s doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the castle’s minions are understandably dubious. After all, she is twelve years old, barely five feet tall, and quite polite. (The minions are used to tall, demanding evil sorceresses with razor-sharp cheekbones.) But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love. So when Molly assures them she is quite wicked indeed (So wicked! REALLY wicked!) and begins completing the tasks required by the Board of Magic for approval, everyone feels hopeful. Unfortunately, it turns out that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all: that she isn’t who she says she is.
