"Coooooool. As long as it isn't another Jared Leto Joker movie."


Recommended Posts

That's just TV execs (a) being lazy and (b) not wanting to deal with possible law suits, however frivolous. Case in point.  White Wolf (ha!) the RPG company (back before it was entirely poisoned by EdgeLords) released a Sci Fi RPG called Aeon...for all of a month.  It had to be withdrawn and renamed as Trinity because Aeon Flux (anyone remember that garbage?) filed a suit against them.  The two are nothing alike, there's no look and feel to it, there's just one word and both are set in the future.  I was lucky enough to snag one of the original printings but the case was nonsense.  It looks like the TV execs are box ticking against Elric in that respect.

I suggested to him that he file the serial numbers off his own creations, and make a new pastiche creation that "borrows" from Elric and other iterations of the Eternal Champion, so it could be marketed as something new. Mike is 80 years old so I have no idea how much creative energy he has, but he still seems to be writing books. So at least there is that. 

Make his hair black, call him a different nickname, and keep everything else?  

 

When fans complain can just directly point out the Witcher.  

 

Hell they already have a theme song out there.  Maybe get Disturbed or someone to Cover it to modernize it.

Another option would be to keep Elric as he is, but change the context. Like for instance, we already know that Elric spent his Thousand Year Dream on Earth as Monsieur Zenith, from maybe somewhere around the 10th Century to the early-mid 20th Century. Chronicling his travels across the world and being witness to various historical events could be an interesting way to go. Elric as Zenith the Albino still somehow possesses Stormbringer, which means Elric can still have epic battles where he wipes out entire armies on his own, demon sword in hand. A lot of work though, and honestly at this point I'd just like to see Mike work on whatever he wants to. 

Stormbringer would be an Epic name for the Series, btw.
