BanjerD Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 This is not the anime adaption which many were hoping for, but this medium is embraced by the creators, Richard & Wendy Pini and it could lead to other projects, hmmm? https://scifibulletin.com/2021/02/22/elfquest-the-audio-movie-announced/ RedRaven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Forgive me... So basically an audio podcast or a audio book? Same premise? Not making fun... but what more could it be if just an audio "movie" ? I'm not following... Seems like it would be like a radio drama or something like they are doing with the "Old Man" universe podcast that Marvel is producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanjerD Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) @Buzzetta I've listened to episode 2 and 3 and they are really well done - far beyond an audio book reading. Yes, closer to an old radio drama. There is additional --script dialogue and narration for the story to deal with the lack of visual art Elfquest is known for, and the sound effects and background music are top notch. Keep in mind each character is voiced by a separate actor. Imagine trying to render the following scene with to an audio-only format. Redlance at death's door in the desert with his lifemate (Nightfall) trying to reach him by "sending" and recalling memories together... I was skeptical at first as well, but the example of this particular audio scene was very moving and successfully captured the feeling of the Elfquest saga. If I had to venture a guess, this endeavor could take a further step later in the process and add animation with the soundtrack as is. I know that an anime format would reach a larger audience, and perhaps those discussions are already being done behind closed doors in Hollywood.

Or HBO Max's Batman: The Audio Adventures where the entire show is done like an old radio show. Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanjerD Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) The audio movie was crowdfunded and is currently in post-production, so the episodes are initially available to backers of the project. But it should be released publicly fairly soon, I hope. *edit - episode 4 just announced for release on May 21st for backers Edited May 18, 2022 by BanjerD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
