The "Elric YouTube clip" mega-thread (Clue: It's NOT related to any proposed film)

[Lonewolfrissychan]

I found this on youtube, searching for music videos people may have done using the songs that were inspired or created for the story. I'm just a little confused on if this is suppose to be apart of the movie itself or not.

I thought it was great....

Ok.

He looks more like Drizzt Do Urden.

The voice is , er interesting.

I hope sincerely that schlock has nothing to do with the movie.

It looks like a homage or clip from Conan or something.


Since when did Stormbringer turn into lightening eh?

And since when was it so thin?

Warped, the mind that made that.

^^; Once again I found it...

Hello and Elric fan trailer

Hello,

It's my first post here, i am really happy to join your communauty.

I am a very old fan to Elric Saga, like you.

I have found this video on YouTube. Anyone knows it ? It's not a great production but for a fan trailer, it's fun.

Elric is not like in my imagination (much strong, big voice) and Stormbringer is not black and not two-hand sword.

Sorry for my bad english but i am french.

See you soon.

Man, it's so bad - I can't even describe it. The acting looks like it's right out of that Eragon movie.

[Harvester]

Looks more like a CGI from some video game then anything realistic.

A black sword that's not black...
A rune sword without runes...

...and those accents!!

More vile than I had ever imagined... (maybe I should get out more...)

[Yisselda]

That guy might get the role of Elric.

[Groakes]

He might get the lead role in a Dianna Ross biopic as well - he bares about as much resemblance!

Clip Review

Just had a look at this.... any idea of its provenance? Like everyone, I also thought the whole point of a Black Blade was that it was.... umm.... black, but Elric looked about right (not freakin' thighs like treetrunks), but actually he could have been a bit more fey (note :"fey", not "gay"). That was always the appeal of Elric for me: that his strength came not from his own body, but that it was "bought" for him at a terrible price. I always saw Elric as very thin guy, not Schwarts... Swartz...Schworzz... Arnie.

The lightning's gotta go, though!! Aaaaagghhh!!

I wasnt being nice about that guy being elric.

It would be a bad idea.

[UncleDes]

Always consider

Hey, Yoland: I'm with you on the actor, but when criticizing choices always "consider the alternatives" - could be a lot worse....

No black sword. No runes. And indeed, the voice is *cough* ... interesting to say the least.

It is very well done overall, but it does not feature the Elric nor the Stormbringer I imagine when reading the novels.

Vin Diesel...as Elrik

Allright mates...Elrik could have any accent. He's a character out of fantasy after all.

Vin Diesel: Suave, urbane, a man-of-the-world type...decadent. Perfect elrik material.

[KenBoorman]

As expressed countless times before, I can't see Vin as a weak, drug addicted albino Prince as Elric is until he draws Stormbringer.
