Not any more....

[AMiddlebro · 6 April 2006]

From the words of Richard Pini, off the website Q&A:

"Q:Whatever happened to the Elfquest movie? A:The Elfquest Movie is no more. Plans were underway to create it. But due to mergers and big bad things at the movie studios, the movie was placed on a back burner. It is unknown when or if it will ever be done."

This is several years old, and there has been no movement whatsoever since then. DC comics recently released a new version of the older ElfQuest comics, and I suppose it is possible that this might spark some renewed interest, but Wendy and Richard Pini worked on the film for a decade, to the point of partially moving out to Hollywood, and nothing whatsoever came of it.

At the moment, the official word is, there is no Elfquest movie...

Something very, very special a long time coming

I've been reading EQ since the 1st ish; it's the only mag I have a complete set of, the only one I started at the begining & bought each one as it was issued. Trust me; for an 8 year old to not lose or destroy something so fragile, for a 17 year old sailor serving with Marines from time to time not to give up his "sissy funny books" & fight to keep them out of the hands of the philistines, to just plain hang onto all of this stuff for a quarter century! Now that should hint to you that this story is more than just a comic book. I can't say I have everything elfquest; I'm a fan, not a fanatic (despite the etiology of the word) & I enjoy the imagination & art & story. But I have most all the stories, even the fire & flight video. I can tell you that if WaRP can maintain creative control over the WolfMill bunch (not to say WM is trying to do anything icky, or that Wendy & Richard would sacrifice anything in the quality of the presentation) then we, the viewing public are in for a rare treat! I'm looking forward to the release of this movie (& we have been waiting patiently for many, many moons; we fans want it, but know that good things come to those who wait) as much as I looked forward to coming home from Kuwait, Somalia & Bosnia. As much as I looked forward to getting out of the hospital. Buy the anthologies & get to know my dear friends. Support the movie & thank all of those who've struggled & laboured so long & hard to bring it to us.
