"The Weitz Brothers still want to make an Elric film. The About a Boy and American Pie directing team have said that they would still like to adapt Michael Moorcock&amp;#039;s fantasy anti-hero for the big screen, after acquiring the rights about five years ago. &amp;quot;We wrote a very edgy script that was true to the anarchic spirit of the book, and then we had a heck of a time getting it made,&amp;quot; Paul Weitz told ComingSoon.net at the junket for his movie Being Flynn. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll probably take another run at it if we&amp;#039;re able to. It was certainly a dream come true to hang out with Michael Moorcock, who is one of our heroes. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an utter anti-hero, and I believe that part of the book was a response to Tolkien, because Moorcock looked at that as sort of a hymn to the squireocracy and the class system in England, and this is a complete rock and roll nihilist anti-hero. I hope the movie gets made in proper fashion.&amp;quot; Paul Weitz is also moving ahead with the script his adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz&amp;#039;s Admission, which is rumoured to have Tina Fey attached. The albino sorcerer Elric is currently starring in BOOM! Studios&amp;#039; ongoing title. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
