Elfquest Movie in the Works

Thursday, Jul 17, 2008 at 9:21am

Warner Brothers has tapped Rawson Thurber to bring Wendy and Richard Pini's creations to the big screen. Thurber, the writer/director for Dodgeball, will produce, write and direct the Elfquest fantasy feature. The Pinis, who started Elfquest by self-publishing it in 1978, have since seen their characters find homes at both Marvel and DC Comics.

The Wolfriders, the elf protagonists, live on a world much like our own, but with two moons. They struggle against both trolls and primitive humanity while seeking out their diverse and distant elf brethren.

The property has been in development in one form or another for many years, including feature films and animated series. Currently there is no word on what format the film will take. 2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Elfquest -- you can visit the official site here.
