Any speculation on which series?
Unfotunatly probably not mistborn. Probably the alcatraz books unfortunantly. Hopefully if not mistborn, then it will be warbreaker.
I left out Elantris because he implies it's a seies.

I doubt he would be in talks for Warbreaker, since it is as of yet, unpublished -- his final draft has been submitted to TOR for edits and it is slated for publication in 2009 sometime (unless aMoL pushes it back). It seems unlikely to me that this is being put on option right now, also, because (IIRC) it, like Elantris, is not a series (although he says he has a plot in mind for a sequel to Elantris and he's just not writing on it right now in lieu of other projects.)

From his Blog:

And...I guess that you're wanting the other super huge announcement. The folks at the studio told me I could mention the deal on my blog once I had signed the contracts, so I've got the okay. We'll do a true press release and all that business in the coming weeks, but for those of you reading here, I can give you an early heads up. The book I mentioned last week is ALCATRAZ VERSUS THE EVIL LIBRARIANS. It has been optioned by Dreamworks Animation, though I can't go into details about who is working on the project at the moment, I've been very impressed with the work of the director and producer involved.

As you may know, an option is still a far cry from a movie actually being released in theaters. Still, the team working on this is very good, and we're hopeful. A lot fewer properties get optioned in animation than do in live action, as it requires a lot more of an investment of time and energy to produce your average animated feature. Therefore, once something does get optioned, the chances of it seeing the screen are much better than they are in live action.

I'll post updates as I can. We HAVE had offers and interest on both ELANTRIS and MISTBORN, but so far, nothing has come together on those projects. Along with that news, I think it's interesting that a blog asked me for an interview a few weeks back asking what my vision for my books turned into film would be. It was fun to speculate some 'best of' circumstances.

His star seems to be on the rise, does it not?

Good for him.

Good for him.

Being picked to finish the final novel in "The Epic Fantasy" of an entire generation will do that for you.

I wish it wasn't Alcatraz, but at least there's hope for mistborn and Elantris.
