That's a pretty old article from last year. We covered the news at the time.

Didn't the first D&D movie have a fairly decent budget? Something like $50 million? (Which would be like twice that in modern money). With some reasonably "name" actors. Who didn't put much effort into it (well, Marlon Wayons did, but no one else)

According to imdb, $45 million.

Wayans and Irons are the best part of the movie. They seem like they’re the only ones that figured out how awful it was going to be, so they just ham it up like nothing else.

Profion was such a fantastically exaggerated character that I try to include a variation of him in most D&D campaigns I run. Much in the same way as Raul Julia playing Mr Bison in Street Fighter, you can see they are having a great time.

You know, if they wanted to make a really a good D&D film, I'd suggest doing something similar to IDW's D&D comic Fell's Five. That series for me captured the game's feeling of adventure whilst adding good dose of humor. It was fun without taking itself too seriously and would work well as a film. But, with the filmmakers stating this film will be set in The Forgotten Realms, it seems unlikely.
