[QUOTE="Firebeetle, post: 5953158, member: 34506"] Check the trailer against this one for an Elfquest fan flick. There's no comparison, one is amazingly better. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0UwOhE5srDc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> My understanding is that Gary sold the rights himself, outright, during his "Gary goes to Hollywood" phase. Unlike modern rights agreements, this one has no time limit. Armadillo Games enjoys a similar agreement for making games with the original Star Trek franchise. Courtney Solomon, shopping his script for many years, finally got a green light to make the first movie. Joel Silver, producer, has held on to the rights and now we have two movies made because enough of us will force ourselves to watch it anyway, like eating overcooking broccoli, out of some sense of duty. Case in point, the number of posters who saw the second movie even though we all knew better. Should Hasbro get those rights back? Absolutely. Right after this movie would be the time to do it, as the value will be decreased after such an obviously horrible film. For the record, there are some redeeming qualities to both movies. I thought the second one, although a fairly rotten movie, would have made a decent pilot for a TV show. The first movie has one redeeming line, from Snails no less, "Who broke into the halfling's house? Who was beaten from the waist down?" That is a good line, but the rest of the movie was awful. Jeremy Irons spoke of it, saying, "Some things you just do for the money." I've got a treatment for a Drizzt movie script, but you're not going to like it. I feel the original story is not highly filmable. No romantic subplot and the pacing is very off for a film. Any movie that would get a green light would have to fix many problems, and fanboys hate people meddling with their story. Having said all that, Vin Diesel would make an incredible Zaknefarian.
