South Bend, Indiana – July 29th, 2009 – Mysteria Film Group, LLC (MFG), an independent production company, has acquired the option to the novel, Myst: The Book of Ti’ana, for the development of the property into a major motion picture. The Filmmakers completed the script earlier this year and began unofficially shopping the project to major film studios last month.
MFG, based in South Bend, Indiana, began as a grassroots effort by two filmmakers. Even Cyan Worlds, Inc., the parent company of the Myst franchise, was not aware of their efforts for some time. “We began our adaptation without the rights,” says Adrian Vanderbosch, a Director and Producer with MFG. “It was risky and unorthodox, but we knew we would prove ourselves to Cyan with a solid blueprint of our vision for the film.”
