Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments
Elfquest
7/9/08 - Warner Brothers and Rawson Thurber are developing Elfquest,
a fantasy movie based on the cult comic by Wendy and Richard Pini.
Thurber will write, direct and produce the feature. The original comic,
which the Pinis initially self-published starting in 1978, follows a
tribe of elves known as the Wolfriders in their attempts to survive and
link with other dispersed elves on an Earth-like planet with two moons
while on the lookout for tribes of humans and trolls, both of which act
as allies and enemies. The series--which at certain points in its
history was published by both Marvel and DC Comics--attracted a more
mature audience as it went along, with scenes of battles and sexuality
that were intense for that time.
