Walt Disney Co. and Jim Henson Pictures are in talks to produce a film based on Philip K. Dick's 1953 short story KING OF THE ELVES.
The story is about a young boy who is something of an outsider. He is approached by a group of elves who declare him their king and declare he must lead them into battle against the Troll King and his army.
Scribe Wally Wolodarsky (THE SIMPSONS, SORORITY BOYS) has been attached to adapt the story to film. His script is said to be leaning more towards the irreverent spirit of SHREK rather than the serious FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.
The project will be special effects laden, though there are no plans for any of them to be CG. The elves themselves will be played by actors.
