But no swords and no wizards. I've thought about this problem elsewhere.

Why doesn't Tarantino just direct an awesome slash 'em up fantasy movie for himself? I would LOVE that. I think Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy would be so cool if done by Tarantino! Actually anything really. I just saw Inglorious Basterds and if you just replace Nazis with evil wizards or something you are already halfway there. Paul W.S. Anderson is doing "Warded Man" which might be cool or really awful. Wait, why shoot it “like” Tarantino. Why doesn’t Tarantino just direct an awesome slash ‘em up fantasy movie for himself?

Krull? Problem is Fantasy films are solely deemed Family films now. Sci-Fi gets away with a more adult angle. Family films now are riddled with too much slapstick, too much marketting, and too much one-upmanship now to appeal to the Adult who wants to be a kid again. It's the classic Good Vs Evil we want, to be 13 again and the bad guy gets killed at the end after a load of 'cool' stuff happens. NOT Ja-Ja Binks!!! What was the last original Fantasy Film? Krull?
