Même pas drôle !

Voilà quelques réflexions de Michael Moorcock lui-même, mais datant d'AVANT l'achat des droits d'Elric par Universal.
Well, I get several offers a year. So far nobody has been able to guarantee me enough quality control, so I'll wait until they get cheaper to make and I don't have to worry about spending someone else's £20 million or whatever. Otherwise I've never needed the money enough to let Elric become just another bad fantasy movie. Nowadays, too, there are lots of Tolkien clones for filmmakers to buy and you know how they prefer to do exactly what they did before - The Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars have very similar plots and cop-outs, giving them common denominators, which I might prefer not to work with.
Alors déjà, c'est bien ça, il n'a jamais eu besoin d'argent au point de vendre Elric n'importe comment, ou juste pour en faire un clône du SdA. Donc, si cette fois il a accepté, c'est bien que...
I don't think one medium is better than another. It depends how it is used. I would love to see a full-scale Elric film, concentrating on the characters in a way that hasn't been done before, using the symbolism knowingly and coaxing the most out of it for atmosphere and set design. It could be a great movie classic, and it might have little to do, except for barest outlines of plot, with the book. I don't believe, in other words, that the books can't be filmed. I believe a great Elric movie could be made which took elements from all the books and turned them into one. I see no point in planning, as people do these days, for a sequel. I would want to put it all in one story.
Bon, tout en un seul film, mais un bon.
