20th Century Fox Close to Obtaining Film Rights for Fall of Gods
20th Century Fox is close to obtaining the film rights to Fall of Gods, a new crowdfunded illustrated novel by Rasmus Bergreen, based on Norse mythology.
In the book gods have long abandoned the world, leaving behind two races, humans and Jotnar, in their place, who live in an uneasy peace. When one warrior’s family members disappear, his search for answers risks upsetting the fragile balance.
Bergeen himself is optimistic about the book being adapted, saying: “I have mostly seen American versions of Norse mythology. As a Scandinavian I really think it’s time to get [our] point of view across.”
Steve Tzirlin and Brooklyn Weaver are planning to produce, and the deal is now close to being finalized. After losing Star Wars to Disney and the travesty that was Fantastic Four, this could finally be the next big thing for Fox.
