FALL OF GODS kickstarter book to be Fox movie franchise

20th Century Fox Seeks Movie Rights to Norse Epic ‘Fall of Gods’

 

Fall of Gods is the work of Rasmus Bergreen at MOOD Visuals, alongside artist Jan Ditlev Christensen and writer Michael Vogt (Hitman). The illustrated novel pairs breathtaking artwork with a fresh take on ancient Norse mythology, and it might just become a major movie franchise.

 

According to info obtained exclusively by The Tracking Board, Fox is very close to landing the preemptive film rights to Fall of Gods. The site claims that Steve Tzirlin (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Brooklyn Weaver (Extant) are attached as producers.

 

It’s important to note that Fall of Gods has yet to be published; it’s presently available through pre-order only. That apparently hasn’t stopped talent agency CAA from working hard for a lucrative rights package, or Fox from snooping around the exciting prospect. The overview provided by MOOD serves to explain the mission at the heart of the epic story.

Fall of Gods Movie Picks Up Maze Runner Director Wes Ball

 

According to THR, Wes Ball will direct the film adaptation of Fall of Gods. Ball made his directorial debut in 2014 with The Maze Runner – itself an adaptation of the popular young adult sci-fi novel series – and returns behind the camera for this fall’s sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. Ball and Steve Tzirlin (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) are among the film’s producers.

 

For those curious, here is the synopsis for the Fall of Gods graphic novel by Rasmus Berggreen and Michael Vogt:

 

The gods have long ago vanished. In their place, two rivaling races now inhabit Midgard; humans and jotnar. Fifteen years ago, a coalition of chieftains drove the jotnar race from Midgard. Now, from each side of the border, humans and jotnar eye each other with hatred and suspicion.

 

When his wife, the estranged daughter of one of Midgard’s most powerful chieftains, is mysteriously kidnapped, a retired warrior takes up the hatchet and sets out to rescue her. But he risks unleashing the wild demon buried deep within him and losing his soul in the process. His journey will bring him into conflict with terrible forces as a cynical plot is revealed and the dark mythological past of the North begins to awaken once more.
