We were talking about this before the boards crashed, when the thread was lost. Things may be looking quite bright for a S&S cinema revival. The only real S&S films this decade have been 'The Scorpion King' and 'Dungeons & Dragons' (and possibly Bloodrayne too). But things are looking up. From what I can remember, here's a brief status report:
* Bran Mak Morn - a film staring REH's other Barbarian is currently in production by Working Title.
* Red Sonja - her second outing has just been announced by Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films.
* Elric - Universal have the rights, the script, Moorcock's blessing and the project is moving along.
* Conan - WB seems keen to continue the franchise, though the film has been in development hell for some time. Hopefully progress will be made soon. Meanwhile an animated version of 'Red Nails' is going straight to video.
* Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser - Dark Horse have recently got their hands on the film rights, and are trying to stir up some interest.
On the mythic side, two Beowulf adaptations are out.
* Beowulf and Grendel - a straight down the line arty Icelandic version (thanks Wayneligon).
* Beowulf - an animated/CG/motion capture production (thanks Wayneligon).
Several S&S videogame adaptations are also on the way.
* World of Warcraft - is being produced by Legendary Films (thanks Insight).
* Dungeon Siege - is being made into Uwe Bolls magnus opus.
I'd be interesting in hearing everyone's thoughts.
