Let's cast the D&D movie!

Ebon Shar · Aug 3, 2015

Okay, assuming that they will involve the works of R.A. Salvatore somehow (and how can they not dip into that cash cow?), let's cast the parts:

Drizzt -
Wulfgar -
Bruenor -
Cattie-Brie -
Regis -

Others?

We can do a fantasy casting, but I think we can assume this film will *not* be Salvatore - they already have a script by Johnson, written before the court case. WB had commissioned the script before having the rights - I do't think they'd have commissioned something so rights-dependent as a Salvatore movie.

Brian Posehn and/or Patton Oswalt and/or Zack Galifianakis needs to be cast somewhere in this thing. Even if only as a jester who gets ganked. It MIGHT be the best 5 minutes in the franchise.

Could Patton Oswalt make a good Regis?

Damn if I know- I have read precisely ZERO gaming fiction.

But let's go with "Yes!"

Agreed. It's more likely they will, at least at first, go with an original script. I'm not sure if that would be good news or bad, though.

It is by the guy who wrote "Wrath of the Titans". *sigh*.

Please. No Drizzt.

An existing world could be used for the setting but I'd prefer a new story, that's not tied to anything that's gone before. I suspect that it'll have something to do with "Tyranny of Dragons" though.
