Most are in the category 'movies rumored' or 'development hell'; not a good sign. About the only thing vaguely like that I found greenlighted was, surprisingly, Elfquest.ElfquestGenre: Animated/Fantasy. Studio: Unknown. Production Company: Wolfmill Entertainment/European Animation Group. Project Phase: Greenlighted. Premise: A conflict between humans and elves ends in the elves' forest becoming the victim of arson. Now left without a place to hang their swords, the elves must head out across the desert to find a new place to call home. Couple of others>The League of Extraordinary GentlemenProject Phase: Greenlighted. Who's In It: Sean Connery (Allan Quartermain); Shane West (Tom Sawyer); Peta Wilson (Mina Harker); Jason Flemyng (Dr. Henry Jekyll); Tony Curran (The Invisible Man); Naseeruddin Shah (Captain Nemo); Stuart Townsend (Dorian Grey); Richard Roxburgh ("The Fantom"); Max Ryan (Dante Alighieri). Premise: It's 1898 and Britain on an alternate Earth requires specialized assistance in matters most important to the Crown. An anti-gravity element has been stolen by parties unknown, and a team of agents is chosen to uncover the mystery and recover the material. As for the agents that make up this League, they should be very familiar to readers on our world... There are still some intriguing possibilities... Zeppelin Studio: Unknown. Production Company: Vanguard Films/Jim Henson Pictures. Project Phase: In Development.Who's In It: Unknown. Who's Making It: John Williams (Producer); Igor-alban Chevalier (Story). Premise: The ancients once spoke of a race of evil beings that battled humanity, ultimately driven underground by the forces of good thousands of years ago. Known as The Banished, these strange troglodyte creatures lived on in the myths and legends of their evil followers, humans whose bloodlines crossed with the Banished and whose descendants formed secret societies and dark cults throughout the globe. Legend had it that there were twelve openings to the subterranean homelands of the Banished scattered across the world, and if ever they were opened, it was feared that the horde of Banished would be unstoppable this time. The world as we know it would soon fall under their dark reign of horror. Of course, they were just legends...But in the London of 1912, Clothilde Faraday knows the Banished are very real. Twenty years earlier her father unwittingly opened one of their long-forgotten portals and barely closed it, but at the cost of many lives. Little did the elder Faraday know that one of the Banished escaped unnoticed, slinking off into the desert...to be found by its allies. To teach the others the secrets of its people. To show them where the remaining portals may be. To open the doors and free the rest of its race to claim vengeance on humanity.Now Clothilde uses her family's vast estate to try and stop the Banished's allies before they uncover and open the remaining portals. Basing her operations in the English skies inside the Faraday family's zeppelin, Clothilde sends her trusted aides to find six young children from around the world who also harbor fantastic abilities...abilities that will be added to her own family's secret power to hopefully stop the forces of the Banished forever.And Murder Mysteries In the final days of the Creation of Earth, in a place we would call Heaven the first crime has been committed. The lifeless body of an angel is discovered in the City, and Lucifer, the Morningstar of the Creator, commissions an investigator to gather evidence about the murder. Called upon to serve is Raguel, the Angel of Vengeance, who will leave no stone unturned, no question unasked and none of his brothers above suspiscion to find the murderer and uncover their motive.</blockquote>
