Wes Ball Will Follow ‘The Maze Runner’ Films With Norse Mythology Story ‘Fall Of Gods’

THR reports that the “epic Norse fantasy” has producers in Ball, Steve Tzirlin (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), and Joe Hartwick Jr.
This tale, in story form, came from Rasmus Berggreen, a concept designer and co-founder of the visual development studio MOOD in Copenhagen Denmark. Berggreen has experience doing film and games concept art, and he started the studio with a collection of other artists.
Fall of Gods, written by Michael Vogt, is described on the book’s Kickstarter page:
Fall of Gods is all about love for Norse heritage. It’s made with a desire to reinvent the mythology and come up with a new and exiting story that captures the essence of the brutal world within the old north. It unfolds in a fantastic universe inspired by Scandinavian nature, with an epic scale and inherent drama. The book will be anchored by detailed illustrations like the ones you see on this page.
The story as recounted above seems pretty basic, with the promise of the visual depiction of mythological Norse elements being a big part of the draw. If there’s eventually a script that matches the visual concepts, this could be a terrific project.
