Heretic of The Seventh Circle
Depends how you define pirate movie, I guess. It certainly reads as a pirate movie to casual viewers, particularly based just on the original trailer.
Oh, for sure! I definitely think it could be successful if they make the right choices. But it’ll be a big risk any way you slice it, and I do think going campy with it would give it a better chance than trying to chase the tail of LotR or GoT.
The OG DnD movie would be successful right now, if remade with better effects, and some cleaner up writing and acting. Especially with the talent they got for it.
The tone was fun, the story was sensible and evocative, and the characters were likeable and played well off eachother. Even the main villain was a blast.
That said, Weiss wants to rewrite the Chronicles, and I say let her, in the form of a high quality Netflix cartoon.
THEN put out a DnD movie.
