The discussion where I saw this post is on the message boards for
GenCon Indy - www.gencon.com - go to the section for GenCon in
Indianapolis, and then check out the forums - you may have to search a
little. The announcement was confirmed in an email I receved from
GenCon advertising some last minute Guest of Honor changes (don't
think there was anyone from the movie listed).

Here is the relevant quote from the email sent to GenCon attendees.

Movie Screenings

We've put together not one, but two, count them, two very special
movie screenings for Gen Con Indy this year. On Saturday night
starting at 8 pm there will be two back to back screenings of the new
Dungeons & Dragons movie, Wrath of the Dragon God and then at 10 pm
there will be a premiere screening of Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising by
Dead Gentleman Productions.

If you aren't going to GenCon, but will be in Indianapolis this
weekend 8/20 - I believe a one day pass is about $25.

Not sure where the screening will be, except for somewhere in the
convention center.

Hope to see you there.

Posting info from the IMDB board.

Silver, a producer, has integrated the DVD-original concept into a new business model. Focusing on home entertainment instead of made-for-TV movies or pay-TV, he plans to send out two to four direct-to-video titles annually, budgeted at $5 million to $7 million apiece. The $6-million "Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God," based on the movie Silver produced in 2000, is due out Nov. 8.

Looks like it is direct-to-video and has a low budget than we thought.

Having seen the...ehh..."film"...I can say the only thing worth looking at is the actress Ellie Chidzley (who plays....snicker..."Lux the barbarian"). She's got gorgeous eyes and nice legs. Sadly, she can't act to save her life, nor did she get naked at all--which might have saved it--but you can't have everything. (Or much of anything when it comes to this movie.)

It *was* interesting to hear old-school references tossed around during the dialogue (the Ghost Tower of Invernes, the Temple of Kuo-Toa, Jubilex...heck, I think one of the mages was even wearing a robe of eyes...but the eyes were more like metal eye-shaped clasps, and they were in the front)...

Otherwise, it was utterly forgettable and generally poorly acted.

As I have stated before the first Dungeons and Dragons movie is not as bad as you all make out to be.

Sorry, but its probably the worst movie ever made. I'd rather watch Xena. And considering Jeremy Irons was the lead, and knowing how could he can act is a simple travesty. Oh, and the guy that played Damodar needs to never act in a movie again. He was bad in Highlander and worse in D&D. To think they brought him back makes me shudder... Being the fan I am, I'll probably be ordering a copy... and putting it on eBay the same day I get it. I hope its good and can't imagine it being as worse as the first, but I'm not holding my breath.

Interesting side note: Sci Fi channel WILL be showing D&D the Movie 2. I might watch this...but considering how few good movies make it over there, not expecting much. (They DID show Fraility and that was good.) I'll debate the merits of the movie by that showing alone.

Sorry, but its probably the worst movie ever made.

I'm no fan of the D&D1, but man, if that's your view, I can only guess that you just haven't seen very many movies. D&D1 had understandable dialogue, a plot you could follow, enough light and clean enough sound that you could actually see and hear things, actors who don't look at the camera all th time, directing that allows you to understand where people are standing in the room, and a whole host of other things that bring it WAY above DOZENS of films I've seen.

Unless that was hyperbole.
