Cult comic ELFQUEST by Wendy and Richard Pini will get a big screen treatment from Warner Bros. and Rawson Thurber, per THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
Thurber will write, direct and produce the feature, whose format might be animated or live action. The original comic, which the Pinis initially self-published starting in 1978, followed a tribe of elves known as the Wolfriders in their attempt to survive and meet up with other dispersed elves on an Earth-like planet with two moons, all the while looking out for tribes of humans and trolls.
The series has been published by both Marvel and DC Comics and attracted a more mature audience as it progressed, complete with battle and sex scenes that were intense for the time.
Hollywood has made several attempts to adapt the series, including animated series and features over the years.
Courtenay Valenti is overseeing for Warner Bros.
