Fox has given ElfQuest a script commitment for an animated film. The one-hour drama is based on the fantasy comic series by Wendy and Richard Pini. The series is coming from Rodney Rothman and Adam Rosenberg‘s Modern Magic. Susan Hurwitz Arneson is penning the adaptation and will be the showrunner and executive producer.

Rothman and Rosenberg will executive produce for Modern Magic along with Arneson, and Wendy and Richard Pini. Bento Box Entertainment is the studio.

ElfQuest is currently published by Dark Horse Comics but began in 1978 where it was published by Warp Graphics. Marvel published it from 1985 to 1988 and DC from 2003 to 2006. Dark Horse has been publishing it since 2013.

The series is about a community of elves and other species who struggle to survive on a primitive Earth-like planet with two moons.
