It's Finally Happening - Myst The Movie is Now in the Works!


Deadline reports that producers Hunt Lowry (A Time to Kill, Cypher) and Mark Johnson (Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Chronicles of Narnia) have partnered with Adrian Vanderbosch and Isaac Testerman of Mysteria Film to acquire the rights to the Myst series from Cyan Worlds to develop into a live-action feature. After hitting shelves in 1993, Myst has gone on to become the biggest selling adventure game ever.

The producers haven't even hired a writer for the adaptation yet, but are actively looking for one to develop the project. They're hope, oddly enough (you will see why), is to establish a distinctive world from the Myst mythology (that expands beyond the initial island from the first game) similar to Chronicles of Narnia (that's where it's odd). Personally, I'm hoping this turns out a lot better than the Narnia films. They add:

"Our aim with this project is to stretch the genres it operated within, much like the source material did," Vanderbosch said. "It is such an innovative property and by utilizing the novels as our primary resource, we have the opportunity to offer audiences the essence of MYST without being limited only to the famous island of the first game. Our focus has always been on creating an entirely new visual experience driven by engaging characters and an epic narrative."
