2 persons have something to say about this!:
Hawk the Slayer sequel?!? Wha..? That's brilliant. God knows why they chose this 80s piece of cheese but I'm glad they did. I loved it when I was younger.
I hope they have Crow, the swift arrow-firing elf, in this new version!
I've been totally gobsmacked since I first heard this news... and just hope the new version lives up to the awesomeness of the original!
I'm rather suspecting it will be "direct-to-DVD", but as long as it's made with love and respect it will be joining its older sibling on my shelves without a doubt :)
