If you’ve loved Michael Sheen’s work in projects like Underworld, Alice in Wonderland and The Twilight Saga, you might be delighted to know that the versatile Welsh actor is as much a genre fan as any of us. In fact, I caught Sheen on the convention floor of Comic-Con this weekend, in the fantasy illustrators’ pavilion, where I overheard him telling Elric artist John Picacio that he’s developing a movie about Michael Moorcock’s famed sword-and-sorcery character with the Weitz brothers. (Chris Weitz, you’ll recall, directed Sheen in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.) Weitz told Picacio that it was the recently published Elric volumes with Picacio’s illustrations that he’s been using as he works on the project. I asked Sheen about Elric, as well as another genre film he told me he’s developing based on the life of Edgar Allan Poe.
