Ha! I knew it. This triology deserves some time on the silver screen. "This Christmas, ash will fall from the sky." Love it.

BUT what's with Lohan?? Come on, people! That's like the wimpy, doe-eyed Katie Holmes as Batman's love interest. blahhh.

Frankly, I think we're lucky Lohan got to it before Holmes did. Can you imagine Tom Cruise as the Lord Ruler? Or Khelsier? That would be horrible.

I hope they get David Boreanaz for Zane.  He's at his best when he's being beat up by little girls.

"Plucky street urchin"...."mist mini-skirt"...."Danny Devito and Tony Danza"....

Man this is going to be fantastic! Although, the main question is will it be better than the Dungeons and Dragons movie starring Marlon Wayans?

Oh my....this is good :) I love it, and yes, Boreanz would be perfect for Zane. ;) But, Lindsey?? Priceless.

Can't wait to see Ginger Rogers, circa 1936, in all her glory.

Post by: stacer on April 01, 2008, 06:56:20 PM
Awesome! I can't wait. But if David Boreanaz is Zane, then James Marsters has to be Kelsier.

I was SO excited...

...Until I realized that it's April Fool's Day. I mean, come on. Lindsay Lohan as Vin? Yeah right. Also, I can't find anything on Lionsgate actually announcing this.

I... really hate for being the person to post this.

Oh my God! This is awesome!!

Someone ring up Nathan Fillion! He NEEDS to be Kelsier.

Lohan? Really..that might ruin it....but I said the same for Shia Lebouf in Transformers and he pulled it off really well...but I don't think he was high/stoned during the filming...

I want to know what Mr. Sanderson thinks of all this!

feels like an aprils fool thing...
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Ararana on April 01, 2008, 07:30:33 PM
Yeah, after reading it over its look to be an April fools thing.

I'm kinda hoping it is now, becuase that is a horrible cast...
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: achren99 on April 01, 2008, 07:32:27 PM
Thank heavens that this (I HOPE) isn't real.  Lindsey Lohan is horrible and she would completely ruin everything good about Mistborn--although I would be happy for Brandon because a movie would mean big bucks.  ICK LINDSEY LOHAN?!?!?  

I'd probably see it anyways, though if it was real hahaha--sadly...

**EDIT**

Ok so I actually read the article through (before I just saw Lindsey Lohan's name and didn't bother to continue), and it's hilarious.  Props to whoever wrote that.  I love the Lohan quote--sounds just like her. :D

Post by: Fellfrosch on April 01, 2008, 08:42:17 PM
I actually think the cast sounds pretty good. Christopher Lloyd and Danny Devito as Clubs and Ham? That's gold. All we need now is Andy Kaufman as Spook.

Post by: darxbane on April 01, 2008, 09:15:08 PM
If Bronson Pinchot is the Lord Ruler, he should have to do all his speaking parts in the Balky voice from Perfect Strangers. :D  Come on, people! The Mist Thong?  LOL!!  Fellfrosch = Win.

Ladka as Spook?  I think Breeze would be better.  Try reading one of his lines in the book using that accent.  Priceless.

They couldn't use Tony Danza because there is no one named Tony in the Mistborn series.

Fell ftw.

Hilarious.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Fellfrosch on April 01, 2008, 11:19:03 PM
Breeze could be renamed Tony. It's a relatively minor change compared to some of the others Ratner is considering.

Also, I would personally vote for Mist Hot Pants instead of a Mist Mini Skirt. Either way, though, I'd hate to see Judd Hirsch wearing any of them.

Post by: Shrain on April 02, 2008, 12:08:05 AM
Props to Fell.

SE was miffed when I, as the first poster, called Fell's bluff. So in order to avoid an angry team of deadly ninja monkeys, I edited my post. Playing the fool for the benefit of others was well worth avoiding death by monkey, I must say.

That's an amazing joke.... I love it... This plus the fake Legend of Zelda movie trailer have really made my day.  ;D
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: dawncawley on April 02, 2008, 11:20:04 AM
I also feared the ninja monkeys, so I kept my comments to the neutral side of loving it :D It could have been taken either way, and glad I am for that, since I don't want death by monkey ;)

Fell, you really do come up with the best ones I have seen including that of my WoW guildmaster....she changed our whole site to Hello Kitty....and when the guys opened the page at work, well, you can imagine :D

yeah, this whole thread was more amusing when people were pretending and not thinking they were clever for pointing out that it was April Fool's.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Bookstore Guy on April 02, 2008, 03:11:47 PM
The real April Fool's joke was convincing you all that this was a lie...can't wait 'til Lohan makes her Mist-thong debut...hawt.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Kelsier on April 02, 2008, 06:42:45 PM
You can't believe anything posted on April 1st. =D That was fun, though.

Post by: charity on April 03, 2008, 12:55:43 AM
I'm so sick of April Fool's. I've really gotten it bad this year. One of my family member's even announced that we sold some land we've been trying to sell and made about quadruple for it that it was selling for. I about died... Stupid April Fool's.

Then I read that and my heart skipped a beat, thanks guys. I think I'll go cry now.  ;)

LINDSAY LOHAN!!!!??? NO MIST CLOAKS!!!!???? YOU ARE ALL INSANE!!!!!! YOU ARE DESTROYING THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!! >:( WHO EVER IS CASTING THIS MOVIE AND WRITING THE SCRIPT NEEDS TO READ THE BOOKS!!!!!!!

or at least read the whole thread.

we only made one person cry. THat's like... 7000% less crying than last year.

/me considers drawing Nazi symbols into Wizards of the Coast art, just for the heck of it.

Because honestly, where would good old prankish fun be without the nazi orcs?

Just remembering the argument that caused makes me laugh. Especially remembering how SE used paint to write in "God is dead" in a pathetic effort to support his delusional claims.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: imflyer20 on April 10, 2008, 07:45:12 PM
LOL. Great Joke. I think, given time and dyed dark hair, Abigail Breslin would make a better Vin than Lohan ever would. Besides...remember what happened with Eragon or Stardust? Let's build a fan base before we start making movies here...or spend time on a good adaption first.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Chrys on April 11, 2008, 04:56:08 AM
Thank god it's not happening. I read Lindsey Lohan, then Mist Mini Skirts, and just about bawled my eyes out. If  no one minds I may just hide under my bed awhile and clutch the Mistborn book to my chest.
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: Faster Master St. Pastor on April 11, 2008, 06:03:57 AM
I think it's sad that I've become accustomed enough to the TWG brand of humor that this didn't even phase me when I read it.  Well, other than laughing, but I didn't take it seriously for a second.

Post by: Relient A on April 14, 2008, 02:10:22 AM
I have been semi-lurking the boards for the past couple weeks since I first picked up Mistborn, but this thread convinced me to register and post...:

1. I'd love to see their supposed Mist Mini-Skirt and Mist Thong on Lohan.
2. I'm incredibly relieved that was an april fools joke. Once I hit Christopher Lloyd I skipped straight to the end and looked at the date... then laughed.

Post by: happydeath72 on April 12, 2009, 06:18:23 AM
OMG ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?!?!? >:( >:( >:(

this movie is going to SUCK, Lohan, DeVeto, Danza, are you on pot? these were some of the best books ever and there going to butcher the onscreen adaptation like this? I hope that every one of those names is wrong, and that a they cast someone other than that little druggie-hooker as vin.

and one more thing, check the inquisitor names..... are those freakin chicks? the INQUISITORS!!!! why not just cast the whole team as female... and lets make the kollos happy bunnies and take out all the conflict and make them hold hands and sing the whole time!!!!!! GOD!!!!







lol... april fools

Dakota Fanning as Vin all the way.

I think that was a very evil joke. Almost died for a minute there... Lindsay Lohan, seriously? :P
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: benvolio3 on April 16, 2009, 12:28:32 AM
I've given it some thought... and I think Disney should produce Mistborn.

someone please tell me this is a joke.  i HATE lohan with a passion.  if this is NOT a joke, i refuse to ever watch this.  :o >:(
Title: Re: Mistborn movie
Post by: clarissavandell on November 06, 2009, 11:11:00 PM
It's a joke.  I'm pretty sure it is.  Lindsay Lohan as Vin?  Short-hair-tough-love Vin?  No.   >:( That's not p-p-possible.

And a 3D Ginger Rogers?  It's an April Fool's Joke, no more.  No more. 

Who WOULD you guys cast for the movie?  I think it's covered that it's NOT going to be Lohan. 

And I would adore Nathan as Kelsier.

Oh, wait.  There's another thread for that.  Never mind.  :-X
