The story which HOLLYWOOD SPY wrote about more than a year ago has been confirmed at the Comic Con according to "MovieWeb": Robert Rodriguez will make a live action film out of late
fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's FIRE AND ICE saga. The story starts when a tiny village gets destroyed by a surging glacier, which serves as the deadly domain for the evil Ice Lord, Nekron. The only survivor is a young warrior, Larn, who vows to avenge this act of destruction. The evil continues, however, as Nekron's palace of ice heads straight towards Fire Keep, the great fortress ruled by the good King Jarol. When Jarol's beautiful daughter, Teegra, is abducted by Nekron's sub-human ape-like creatures, Larn begins a daring search for her. What results is a
tense battle between good and evil, surrounded by the mystical elements of the ancient past.
