Elfquest may FINALLY be hitting the big screen
 
Tweet 
Since 1978, Wendy and Richard Pini's seminal fantasy comic series,
Elfquest, has been released independently, through Marvel and DC and
made available again online for free. It has had toys made for it,
animations crafted, role-playing games both PC and table-top played. Now
it may finally become a feature film.
The epic and sprawling fantasy series that takes place on the World of
Two Moons is one of those character pieces that covers so much ground
and has been around for so long that it's probably had some influence on
most genre writers whether they know it or not.
As for a film, this is not the first attempt. Warner Bros. supposedly
had it in development for years but allowed the rights to lapse
recently, leaving producers (and fans) Stephanie Thorpe and Paula Rhodes
the opportunity to scoop up the property.
The Pinis themselves seem pleased with the news, saying, "With their
deep love and understanding of the property, they represent a new
direction for ElfQuest ... new creative energy and new connections in
the larger media."
You can get a glimpse of what could be by checking out a short that
Thorpe and Rhodes have already produced as fans of the series, below.
