[QUOTE="neobolts, post: 7677638, member: 65244"] This is glad news. With the movie rights at home again, we can see the proper settings brought to life, and (hopefully) a proper respect for the properties and lore. While not on the scale of Harry Potter fandom, D&D fandom cares about the source material, and if WB treats D&D with the respect that Harry Potter received, D&D is in good hands indeed! I'd go with an original character, a plucky young hero starting out who becomes part of something bigger, getting to interact with classic FR locations and characters. If they are working from an original script, they should bring in Mearls and his team to ensure the lore is correct and bring in Greenwood/Salvatore for the novelization of the film. The film should be integrated across everything D&D: a board game, a module that runs alongside the story*, minis, etc. I'm optimistic! And how couldn't I be, the other D&D movies looked like careless cash-ins. I've never even been motivated enough to see them. *(For example: "We have news from Waterdeep, sir. A team of heroes fought their way out their the city's labyrinthine sewers and arrived with the update at dawn." A single line about this in the film, about an offscreen element that drives the main story. This could be YOUR PARTY.) [/QUOTE]
