Re: [dq-rules] Re: Semi OT...possible Elric movie in the works

["J. K. Hoffman" <ryumaou@sbcglobal.net>]

Have you seen movies lately? How "happy" was The Two Towers?  How about 
any of the psycho-killer movie genre?  Remember American Psycho?  Or the 
modern Psycho movies?

There are plenty of movies that aren't "perky" and they sell well.  I 
HOPE that an Elric movie would do the same.  My only wonder is, how many 
people even know who he is?  Ask around at your office and see how many 
people actually know who Moorcock or Elric are.  *That* is where it'll 
be a hard sell, I think.

But, I sure hope they do it.  And do it well.

Thanks,
Jim
