[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6129886, member: 32740"] Unfortunately, Solomon's producing credits inspire only trepidation. The writer is given as, "Frank Darabont protege David Leslie Johnson" because according to IMDB he has 1 credit - producer on a Red Riding Hood short. No writing credits at all. Total unknown quantity. I say we should only fear this when paired with Solomon and his merry band of others who, though having had plenty of work, seem to have given nothing of worth or note since the first D&D movie debacle to demonstrate they've learned anything except how to make a paycheck as opposed to a good movie. The fact that WB is willing to throw money at this I think only adds momentum to the all-but-inevitable train wreck that's coming. Safe to say that we all want a GOOD D&D movie if not a really GREAT one. The first thing you need is a really good script. The likelihood that they have such in hand is [I]not [/I]high. The next thing is having money to do the expensive things necessary. They MIGHT have that from WB. Then you need producers and director who know what is needed to turn out a worthwhile fantasy film. There is no director attached yet it seems but the chances of good stuff coming from the crowd already involved? Low indeed, if existent at all. I'm not holding my breath. [/QUOTE]
