How about a film version of Moorcock's Elric novels?  A little depressing,
perhaps, in the long run, but more thoughtful than most fantasy.  If Max
von Sydow were twenty years younger, he would be perfect for the lead, but
since he isn't, how about David Bowie, who is very good at giving an impression
of a tall, thin, pale outsider.  Ridley Scott would be a good choice to direct,
as he has a superb visual sense tending towards the moody and dark.  If he's
not available, his brother Tony is an acceptable second choice.  His first
film, "The Hunger", deals with those who somewhat reluctantly are forced to
live off of others, a theme which has some parallels in Moorcock's books.
