An Elric movie from Robert Eggers

Just got out of watching the new Nosferatu. Loved it. I had been marathoning Robert Eggers' movies for the past week. The VVitch, The Lighthouse, The Northman. Loved all of them. I enjoy his ability for visual storytelling in brilliant dreary atmosphere.

Made me realize he is the one filmmaker I'd trust in bringing Elric to the screen.

Currently re-reading the "Elric of Melniboné" story from the recent omnibus (Volume 1), and I think has a a solid foundation for a movie, it flows fast enough to be paced like a film, plenty of big set pieces, a contained plot, and it introduces the characters, setting and Stormbringer well enough for newcomers.

Of course, this is all just wishful thinking. Sadly, it's unlikely any sort of Elric adaptation on the big or small screen will happen, even Michael Moorcock himself had said as such, iirc. And I'm sure some folks here are oppose to any sort of adaptation to Elric, I mean, I'm usually a book purist too but Robert Eggers' movies just clicked with me as a potential filmmaker.
