Moorcock sold the rights to Universal, and the Weisz? Brothers who did the
American Pie Series are writing/producing with alot of input from Mike.  The
first film is being scripted based on Dreaming City and Elric of Melnibone.
In theory Universal are fast tracking the project, to cash in on the post
Lord of the Rings Fantasy Boom.

Mike has said that he is pushing for Paul Bettany as Elric
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0079273/ who was in Master and Commander. A vote
among fans has suggested they'd like Johnny Depp ;-)

He has also said his last Eternal Champion book will be 'White Wolfs Son'
which he's just finishing.

Check out www.multiverse.org for more information, Mike posts alot of
replies to messages on the forums.
