The cult comic Elfquest is preparing for the big screen courtesy of Warner Bros. and Richard Thurber. The trade reports Thurber (Dodgeball) will write, direct and produce the adaptation of the comic created by Wendy and Richard Pini. They don't know whether it will be an animation, live-action or CGI yet.
Plot Concept: The original comic, which the Pinis initially self-published starting in 1978, followed a tribe of elves known as the Wolfriders in their attempts to survive and link with other dispersed elves on an Earth-like planet with two moons while on the lookout for tribes of humans and trolls, both of which acted as allies and enemies.

chief of the tribe,his loyal inquisitive friend Skywise, and the other members of his Wolfriders who you got to know intimately. Also his wife Leetah who he was destined by elfin Recognition to be with and their
children. I would tell anybody who would listen about it. It got very popular during the mid-80's and was one of the biggest independent books out when Marvel and DC had the market cornered. There was talk of an animated movie then but it never happened.
I hope the Pinis are very involved in this and (as always) it is done right.
