Let's get somebody on this right away. I think the Fafhrd and Mouser stories would have great potential as a Sword & Sorcery series.Conaill said:
I think they could do a series of movies. Pick several of the stories, make several movies, DON'T try and cram everything about the two into a single movie.

No it's primarily British slang for uneven or uncertain quality.Ranger REG said:
Edit: To be on topic a bit.
I think S&S movies problems were not so much that they flopped as much as they were never major blockbusters. People in Hollywood seem to look for the next big thing over something that brings in a little bit of money.

I thought they were actually married for a long time. Well, by Hollywood standards, anyway.Klaus said:

No, it's not new at all. And plenty of British slang has been popularized on this side of the Atlantic; especially through the Harry Potter books and movies. I'm surprised you've not heard dodgy. I actually use that term quite a bit nowadays.Ranger REG said:

I never bothered to ask.Joshua Dyal said:
As mentioned before by others, S&S is associated with cult film genre, so they are never taken seriously, especially when you have scantily-clad priestesses.
Gawd, I missed those days.

Speaking of REH...
I would actually like to see Solomon Kane done...maybe with Russell Crowe (he rocked in Gladiator, and would be a good S&S star, now I think on it).

According to the IMDB, Joanne Whaley and Val Kilmer were together for 8 years. They married after meeting on the set of Willow back in 1988, and divorced in 1996.

I fear they would downplay his reliance on drugs and Stombringer's soulfeading. I'd say there is 70% chance Hollywood would change Elric to object to the humans torture & enslavement, rather than his uncaring attitude towards the atrocities.Warrior Poet said:
At least we know hollywood can pull the look off.
