Empire Online reports that Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) and brother Paul Weitz (American Pie, About a Boy) will adapt Michael Moorcock’s “Elric” saga:
Elric of Melniboné, aka Elric Kinslayer, aka The White Wolf first appeared in print in 1961, and is the anti-hero of more than a dozen books. A physically weak, perpetually sickly albino who’s the outcast Emperor of a race of cruel, ancient decadent people, he’s no musclebound Conan-type, instead drawing his power from the spirit-sucking runesword Stormbringer, an evil entity with whom he struggles for his own soul. And he’s frankly one of the greatest fantasy characters out there albeit one who’s going to be fiendishly hard to make work on screen.
