Myst has been optioned for a movie by producers Hunt Lowry and Mark Johnson, in conjunction with Adrian Vanderbosch and Isaac Testerman of Mysteria Film Group. Cyan Worlds sold the rights to make a live action Myst film to Mysteria. Cory Lanier and Tom Williams will be co-producers.
“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.”
The movie will draw its plot from not just the mythology of the games, but also the three companion novels published by Cyan Worlds.
