Add me to the list that would be in favor of an Elric movie. I would love to see that scene wit Elric yelling "Blood and Souls for my Lord Arioch!" That would be very cool.
I agree that Elric does not have a base as LOTR but since LOTR books have been selling well again since before last summer more and more people are looking into this genre. I know at work (I work in the largest bookstore here in BR) when people as about LOTR if I can I mention a few of other authors - Martin, Moorcock, Eddings, Jordan, Goodkind and Brooks- just to name some, a lot of poeple already seem to know Jordan, he seems to have crossed over into what is called the mainstream (what I mean by that is that some people have told me they have never read SciFi/Fantasy before but are addicted to Jordan. They are the same poeple who ask 2 weeks after the new one has come out when the next one will be out- answer: 2 years).
Also I'm sure someone in the film industry has read Moorcock and has thought of doing an Elric movie. Hopefully with the success of LOTR we'll see more well done fantasy movies.
I'd love to see a great magical sword on screen since Anduril was not in FotR and though I loved the movie Excalibur and the sword (I'd love to get a replica of it) except for a couple of scenes we didn't see its power. Stormbringer always moans, IIRC emits a black radiance, sucks souls, and looks just plain cool with its red runes. I'd love to see it on screen. Though I don't know who would play Eric.
