uindodorgon: ElfQuest Not Coming To The Silver Screen Rob Beschizza has some sad news. The cult classic fantasy comic, ElfQuest, is not going to be made into a movie – at least not any time soon:   Warner Brothers has canceled production of Elfquest, a movie about the feral descendants of space-faring shape-shifters and their quest to uncover the truth about their ancestors’ crash-landing on a primitive planet, because that sounds rather too much like The Hobbit. For those of you who read ElfQuest as a kid or a teenager you’ll know how ludicrous this is. Yes, there are elves in both The Hobbit andElfQuest. In The Hobbit goblins ride on wolves, and in ElfQuest elves ride on wolves. That’s about where the similarities end. Like so many comic books, ElfQuest was all about selling sex. I barely remember the plot these many years later, but I remember that at least for me at the time, these were…sexy. The Hobbit is a lovely book, but sexy it most certainly isn’t. Then again, it might have been a terrible movie, so maybe this is a blessing in disguise. ElfQuest was about selling sex? Did I miss that every single time I’ve read it in the last 20 years?

ElfQuest Not Coming To The Silver Screen

Rob Beschizza has some sad news. The cult classic fantasy comic, ElfQuest, is not going to be made into a movie – at least not any time soon:

People say I write about ordinary experiences like poetry. I am very spiritual. I breathe music and books, have an icon art gallery, ink stained fingertips, and a deep, abiding, unapologetic love for Jean Grey, Lyta Alexander and Edward Cullen.
