A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I've always thought Summer Glau would make a good Vin. She's already proven she can do the "death dealing skinny girl" thing, and she would bring a huge cult following with her. (Myself includedAnd I. I adore Summer Glau!)
Ellen page was also in x-men... not sure if that's a plus.Oh, yeah, Shadowcat, right?
If you think she can't do serious though, watch Hard Candy... scary, but really good.
As to the budget, I'm not sure what sort of money would be needed. You have the ash and the mist, which would probably be easy enough to do now that I think about it. And then you have the actual Allomancy, very few of which would require computer-generated effects (Atium, and Seekers--I can't remember the metal's name). I think that the city of Luthadel would have to be computer generated (like what they did with Hogwarts), and have all the different sections filmed in existing places. There's the inquisitors, which could probably be done with prosthetics and fake tattooing. BUt besides that, I think a lot of it can be done with wires and pulleys and greeen screen.My understanding is that one studio develops the script and another does the actual filming, usually a much bigger studio.
As to what sort of budget Pallopa is capable of, I don't know. It would really depend on the Producers, I think (if my understanding of the film industry is right...which it probably isn't).
Google it? You do realize this forum is full of sf/fantasy geeks, don't you?I'm always a tad paranoid that the references I make that about other fandoms will be lost on the members of the fandom I'm currently talking to. So it's good to know that I have fellow DW fans on this board!
Time travel and immortality! Hoid is a Time Lord! Hahaha!!!" Brandon replied that while Hoid himself is not a shard, he is bonded to one" -- actually I recall public statements by Brandon that seem to deny this.
Fair enough. You would know better than I would, certainly.And since when is hoid immortal?
Brandon said Hoid was there when Adonalsium was Shattered. Also, it's been said that it takes a very long time for a person with a Shard (say, Ruin) is molded really well with its Purpose. I'd venture at least centuries, more likely millennia. For all practical purposes, he's immortal.
And, well Brandon said in...an interview?...a QandA session?...(I'm not great about citing sources, apparently) that Mistborn happened first, with Warbreaker and Elantris some centuries after that. So, immortality after a fashion seems the only viable explanation. Or time travel.
Pretty sure Liam Neeson needs to be in there somewhere. Bluefingers? Vasher? Denth? One of the gods? King Dedelin?Vasher, definitely Vasher. Awesome actor, and he seems to have the chops for the combat scenes too.
Not seeing any bad options here.
Sorry guys, I may have had a brain fart. My comment may be meaningless.Well, yeah, we already know Ati- I mean Ruin's name.
