Posted on January 11, 2024 by Brett

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.

It was a Great Night at the Oscars for Black Panther and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Posted on February 25, 2019 by Brett

Black Panther can call itself an Oscar winning film… a multiple winning Oscar film.

Ruth Carter won for “Costume Design.” The film also won for “Production Design” with Hannah Beachler being honored for production design and Jay Hary being honored for set decoration. The film’s third win of the night was “Original Score” for Ludwig Goransson‘s work.

Black Panther tied with Roma and Green Book for the second most Oscar wins for the night tied. Bohemian Rhapsody won 4 times.

It was a Marvel night with Sony‘s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse taking home best “Animated Feature Film” with Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller sharing the award.

But, Marvel didn’t win for everthing. Avengers: Infinity War lost to First Man for “Visual Effects.” Black Panther also lost out to Green Book for “Best Picture.”

Hannah Beachler: "You collaborate to make films. We’re all visual and bring that to the table. But– This Oscar is so yellow! I’m literally losing my mind!"

Hannah Beachler: "Everyone goes through moments of struggle, depression. It’s really about the people you surround yourself with. It’s like eating an elephant one spoonful at a time because #BlackPanther was just ginormous.”

Hannah Beachler on best advice from Ryan Coogler: "Just be honest, be truthful and be you. If you aren’t honest, this is never gonna work.”

Hannah Beachler: "When I walked to the middle of a #BlackPanther set for the first time, I fell to my knees and cried. It felt… like it does now!”
