D&D Movie/TV What would a good D&D movie be like?

[Lalato]

No. There isn't.

But... but... but... Adventure Awaits!

Just no.

What would a good D&D movie be like????

A miracle.

 

[Hereticus]

If you were in charge of making the next D&D and movie and wanted it to be good, how would you do it?

Specifically, how would it represent Dungeons & Dragons in plot, characters, conventions, etc? How it would it be both a good movie, and a good D&D movie? How can it appeal both to those familiar with gaming and to mainstream audiences?

You can get all the money and talent you need, so don't worry so much about the logistics. What does the movie end up looking like?

All the characters would be chaotic evil, and in the end they would defeat Bahamut and the Princesses of Elemental Good.

Any interest in a D&D Musical? I'm think that the producers of the TV show Galavant could do a really fun D&D movie with song and dance numbers that would delight both young and old.

I'm ready, and I think my past resume speaks for itself.

Imagine a Katy Perry lookalike, flanked by a pair of dancing bulettes, singing:

"Charm Monster"

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, staff in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna try it on
I'm curious for it
Caught my attention

I kissed a Grell and I liked it
The beak tastes like bloody meatsticks
I kissed a Grell just to try it
I hope my consort don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a Grell and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Druids do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a Grell and I liked it
The beak tastes like bloody meatsticks
I kissed a Grell just to try it
I hope my consort don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a Grell and I liked it
I liked it

Druids we are so magical
Oak leaves, curved blades, shapechangeable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a Grell and I liked it
The beak tastes like bloody meatsticks
I kissed a Grell just to try it
I hope my consort don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a Grell and I liked it
I liked it

I daresay my filks could make an Uwe Boll D&D musical watchable.

 

[Hussar]

On a more serious note. I was thinking, other than Harry Potter and the Tolkien movies, what fantasy movie actually has been successful? I mean, big blockbuster successful. I'm really drawing a blank.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Conan? Narnia?
