Fans of the great writer Robert E. Howard may interested to know that the DVD "The Whole Wide World" is now available. The film originally open in 1996 the 60th anniversary of his death. It stars Vincent D'Onofrio as Howard and Renee Zellwegger as Norvalyn Price Ellis on whose book the film is based.

Apologies. The lady's correct name is "Novalyne Price Ellis" and her two books on Robert E. Howard are "One Who Walked Alone2 and "Day of the Stanger".

Thanks, 'Fiolar', I will look out for that DVD. I hope it's better than the truly awful 'Conan' films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Oh, new release in the UK? I was hoping for a new release in the US, as the current one's kind of shit, heh. Horseshit video quality, and chopped all to Hell, which Dan Ireland talks about here. Apparently, the best way to catch the full version is on cable. Anyways, lovely film on a fascinating subject. And it's back before Renée Zellweger was really annoying, too, so...
