In April of ’ 08 Disney announced plans to animatePhilip K. Dick‘s write up TheKing of the Elves . Since then , there ’s been very small word about theurban fantasyendeavor . Did Disney kill off their paranoiac , wrick elf narration ?
It seemed that mouse house was interested in turning Dick ’s story into a Lord of the Rings type tale and even added it to their coming projects slating on the Disney entanglement page afterward this twelvemonth , complete with fancy honest-to-goodness timey case …
Slashfilmrecently manoeuvre out that Disney web page which slate the film for Christmas 2012 as a CG 3D production , is gone . The page is still there , but you’re able to no longer navigate to it from the Disney home page . Plus , there ’s an on-going word at the invigoration siteTag Blogclaiming that the project has been sack .
It ’s not looking good for this Dick project . Which is sad , because we would have enjoy to see Disney play more with this variety of material . We overleap the story like The Sword In the Stone and its copy - cat films like The Black Cauldron in the fantasy - plenteous eighty . No doubt Peter Jackson ’s The Hobbit will help oneself trigger off another fancy film rebellion , but we ’d love to see the younger generation exposed to this type of rich storytelling . Culminating with a Supernatural pic .
Here ’s the official synopsis from PKD ’s level :
An ordinary man living in the Mississippi Delta , whose reluctant actions to assist a desperate band of elves lead them to name him their raw king . get together the innocent and endangered elves as they attempt to escape from an evil and menacing troll , their improbable fresh drawing card finds himself caught on a journey filled with unimaginable dangers , and a chance to add real meaning back to his living .
