Stick as close as possible to what Howard wrote, and you'll have a good film.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77509604820094659452010-03-31T14:41:53.508-05:002010-03-31T14:41:53.508-05:00Both pitches sound idiotic, especially the El Bora...Both pitches sound idiotic, especially the El Borak. Howard is a good example that some writers work just donĀ“t translate well to the screen. Good to know that the word still can be more vivid than the picture. For example I have read "Queen of the Black Coast" so many years ago for the first time, and it evoked so many impressions and ideas that any movie version just would be a shallow reproduction.<br /><br />At least with the Poe movies they invented something new. Any Howard movie can only disappoint.AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77603970516519159162010-03-31T09:29:56.194-05:002010-03-31T09:29:56.194-05:00Seems to me they're doing with Howard what Ame...Seems to me they're doing with Howard what American-International did with Poe long ago: taking the name of the author and the names of his works but changing everything else.
