This just in: HOLY CRAP Elfquest movie!

[annathepiper]

If y'all haven't seen this already, check it out: an Elfquest movie is finally coming! Wendy and Richard Pini are breaking the news on Elfquest.com today.

Forums discussion can be found here.

The interesting bit for me in Wendy's post is the "combination of CGI and live action". Man, I hope they don't screw that up. If they have the budget to pull off the same clever tricks that Peter Jackson did in LOTR, they could get away with live actors playing the elves.

Which, of course, raises the fun question of who will be playing whom. The floor is now open for casting calls!

HEE! Not a noise I'd have expected to come out of you. ;) But yes. Squee indeed!

Now here's hoping they actually deliver the movie in a timely fashion, and that it does not suck!

What few know is that I've been following EQ since '85, and at one point was a "rabid" fan. I still have a copy of the "Video Comic book" that came out in the early 90s. *shudder* I saw that and had flashbacks to the 1960's Marvel comics cartoons.

Oh wow, I think you're one of the few I've spoken to who actually has that video. You poor thing.

And hey, I'm with you on the rabid fandom! I was after all one of the longest running wizards on Two Moons! ;)
