Having grown up with the artwork of Frank Frazetta in the household as the calendars were my father’s sole requirement to me when it came to what to get him for Christmas, the idea of a film that uses his artwork as a baseline for events and visuals has me drooling pretty damn hard. With word out of SDCC this year that Robert Rodriguez was going to be making that film, it only got more interesting. A few sample pieces of concept art have floated out view Entertainment Weekly and we’re hearing that Rodriguez wants to get this movie filming in early 2012 for release.
Plot concept: From his stronghold in Ice Peak, the evil Nekron sends forth a wave of deadly glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat to Fire Keep, a kingdom ruled by a generous king. When King Jarol’s daughter Teegra is kidnapped, young warrior Larn teams with the mysterious and legendary Dark Wolf, to rescue the princess and the realm from Nekron’s evil sorcery.
