| ELRIC Movie News Empire Online reported that Chris Weitz will move from The Golden Compass to Michael Moorcock's Elric, with his brother, Paul. The Weitz brothers will adapt the fantasy saga, about Elric of Melniboné (aka Elric Kinslayer or The White Wolf) for the big screen, the site reported. The Elric books first appeared in print in 1961 and number more than a dozen volumes. "Of the great classic fantasy series, it's the one that hasn't been done yet," Chris Weitz told Empire Online. "My brother, Paul, and I liked those books growing up, and we've met Michael Moorcock, and he trusts us to take those books forward." The Weitz brothers' Depth of Field production company will develop the adaptation, although no director is yet attached. "I'd really like it if my brother directed them," Chris said. |

A long interview about THE DREAMTHIEF'S DAUGHTER done by Richard Klaw on Sci Fi Weekly A long interview with Michael Moorcock, and a review of The Dreamthiefs Daughter are currently on The Zone. The Dreamthiefs Daughter takes as its subject the fantasy genre, its historical roots and its relationship with the real world. When I began, I wondered if there was anything more to say about Elric and the multiverse that hadn't already been covered in Moorcocks many explorations of the setting. It would be easy for a writer like Moorcock to rest on his laurels and turn out potboiling sequels, but this novel covers new ground and provides fresh insight into the character, the setting, and the fantasy genre. This is the first in a trilogy and I await the future episodes with great interest. --The Zone Click Here to Read the whole Review Click Here to Read the Interview Overall, The Dreamthief's Daughter is mightily impressive not just as a demonstration of the fantasticating imagination in full flight but because of all the different aspects of meaning -- analogues, in a way, of the myriad diversely aspected worlds of the multiverse -- which it embodies. It is one of those rare fantasies that merits repeated reading with, each time, a different facet of its full meaning to be derived. Infinity Plus magazine A great insightful review in Infinity Plus magazine by John Grant There are scenes of beauty and power, and serious ruminations on humankinds capacity for great dreams and profound horrors . . . [Moorcock has] the remarkable ability to take wildly divergent materials, weave them together and make them work--in Moorcockian terms, bringing Law and Chaos into Balance. Locus on The Dreamthief's Daughter |

WE AT AMERICAN FANTASY are proud to publish this illustrated edition of the first new novel featuring Elric of Melnibone in a decade. After a decade, master fantasist Michael Moorcock returned to his most famous character, Elric of Melniboné, in an astounding novel of revelation, magic and intrigue. The author introduced Count Ulric von Bek, the last member of the von Bek line and Oona, the Dreamthief's Daughter, who together with Elric, seek to save the Multiverse from the machinations of Prince Gaynor. As the Nazis begin their big play in World War II, an imprisoned and beaten Ulric von Bek fights to keep his mystical black sword Ravenbrand from his power-mad cousin, SS Major Gaynor von Minct. Elric falls during Lady Miggeas siege of Eternal Tanelorn, in a plot that will bring the forces of both Law and Chaos to bear against the Balance. Only the combined souls of Ulric and Elric can triumph, as Stormbringer and the Holy Grail fall into Gaynor's and Hitler's hands. And the schemes of the mysterious Oona might be the last chance to save them all. This is an epic adventure moving from the concentration camps of Germany, into the wondrous underground land of Moo Oria, to a besieged Tanelorn, on to the point of origin of all thingsthe Grey Fees, and beyond that, to the shores of Britain. Moorcock fans will be delighted as the author takes them on a Grand Tour of his own personal wonderlandthe Million-Sphered Multiverse. |
