Elfquest, the cult comic is heading to the big screen courtesy of Warners Bros. and Rawson Thurber.
The Hollywood Reporter says Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) will write, direct and produce the feature, whose format is undetermined.
The comic follows a tribe of elves known as the Wolfriders in their attempts to survive and link with other dispersed elves on an Earth-like planet with two moons while on the lookout for tribes of humans and trolls, both of which acted as allies and enemies.

The new full trailer for horror-thriller Quarantine, starring Jennifer Carpenter, Jay Hernandez, Columbus Short, Greg Germann, Steve Harris, Dania Ramirez, Rade Sherbedgia and Jonathon Schaech.
In the Oct. 10 release, Carpenter plays TV reporter Angela Vidal who, with her cameraman (Harris), are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building.

Quentin Tarantino will start shooting his next film, the World War II action tale Inglorious Bastards, in October, with hopes of having it ready in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May.
The long-gestating project revolves around a Dirty Dozen-like group of soldiers behind enemy lines. No cast is yet in place, though Brad Pitt’s name has surfaced.
Tarantino acquired the title and remake rights to Enzo Castellari’s 1978 film of the same name, but his screenplay is said to be an original.
The project is set up at the closely held Weinstein Co., which is looking to co-finance it with a major studio in exchange for foreign rights.
The Weinstein Co. have a long history with Tarantino, from 1994’s Pulp Fiction through the commercially disappointing Grindhouse films in 2007, Terror Planet and Death Proof.
