Warners Bros. and Rawson Thurber is sending “Elfquest,” the cult comic by Wendy and Richard Pini to the 
big screen.
Thurber is set to write, direct and produce the feature, whose format is undetermined.
The original comic was self-published starting 1978 by Pinis. The story follows a tribe of elves, Wolfriders, in their attempts to survive and link with other dispersed elves on an Earth-like planet with two moons. They lookouted for tribes of humans and trolls, both of which acted as allies and enemies.
The series, at certain points in its production was published by both Marvel and DC Comics, attracted a more mature audience as it went along, with scenes of battles and sexuality that were intense for that period.
Hollywood has long tried to adapt the series, and several attempts at an animated series or feature have been made over the years.
