I wonder if anyone else is hoping that people they know personally (classmates, friends, relations) are not attached to the upcoming D&D movie project.

Two Predictions.
1. D&D II will go straight to DVD
2. Magic the Gathering and the D&D Cartoon will be Bigger & Better than both D&D movies.

Official First Look Media Press Release for D&D II
http://www.flp.com/news/press releases/D&D2_press.html
FIRST LOOK INTERNATIONAL TO BEGIN SALES OF DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 2: THE ELEMENTAL MIGHT AT AFM
Los Angeles, CA - November 1, 2004 — Bill Lischak, President of First Look Media, and Chris Cooney, CEO and Co-Chairman (www.firstlookmedia.com), announced today that First Look International will begin the worldwide licensing of Dungeons & Dragons 2: The Elemental Might, the sequel to the worldwide box office hit, Dungeons & Dragons, at AFM, excluding video rights in the U.S. and certain territories which will be handled by Warner Home Video. Resurrecting his role from Dungeons & Dragons is Bruce Payne (Hellborn, Newton’s Law, Passenger 57, Highlander: Endgame) and Mark Dymond (Die Another Day, Revelation, The House of Mirth). Clemmency Burton-Hill (Until Death, Hit List) and Steven Elder (upcoming Cold and Dark, Vanity Fair, Ten Minutes) are also attached to star, with Gerry Lively (Soulkeeper, Hellraiser: Bloodline, Friday) set to direct. Produced by Wolfgang Esenwein of Studio Hamburg WorldWide Pictures and Steve Richards of Zinc Entertainment, a division of Joel Silver’s Silver Pictures, the film is currently finishing production with a scheduled US release of 2005 through Warner Bros. A third installment is currently in development.
Dungeons & Dragons 2: The Elemental Might is based upon the highly successful role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. An evil Sorcerer (Bruce Payne) steals a magical orb which controls a powerful sleeping black dragon. In response, an aspiring Mage and a decorated Warrior are summoned to defend the kingdom and solve the mystery of an enigmatic tome as evil forces lay waste. A battle for control of the kingdom unfolds in this classic tale of good vs. evil. The film captures the spirit of Dungeons & Dragons by creating a role-playing, event-based adventure comprising of magical paraphernalia, hand to hand combat, and incredible creatures including Magmin, Dragons, Harpies and a Lich. The production has been working closely with TSR and Wizards of the Coast (divisions of Hasbro Entertainment), the creators of the role-playing game, to ensure the project adheres to the strict guidelines of the property.
The original Dungeons & Dragons was directed by Courtney Solomon and starred Jeremy Irons, Marlon Wayans and Thora Birch. The film was released in the U.S. by New Line Cinema in December 2000 and generated over $50 million in worldwide box office*. The film was produced by Silver Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment.
“We are excited to work with such experienced producers as Wolfgang and Steve. The sequel promises to be even more action-packed and special effects driven than the original,” stated Bill Lischak.
"We are thrilled to have assembled such an enthusiastic cast and crew, and are confident that the film with it's high production value will appeal to the game fans and general audiences alike,” added Wolfgang Esenwein.
First Look International (FLI), a division of First Look Media, is an independent worldwide film sales and distribution company specializing in the acquisition, financing, packaging and distribution of independently produced feature films of all genres. FLI’s current slate includes When Will I be Loved (directed by James Toback, starring Neve Campbell, Fred Weller and Dominic Chianese); Cake, currently in production (directed by Nisha Ganatra, starring Heather Graham, David Sutcliffe, Sandra Oh, Cheryl Hines and Taye Diggs); Dungeons and Dragons 2: The Elemental Might (directed by Gerry Lively, starring Bruce Payne, Mark Dymond and Clemmency Burton-Hill); Freeze Frame (directed by John Simpson, starring Lee Evans and Rachael Sterling); the Sundance hit, September Tapes (directed by Christian Johnston, starring George Calil and Wali Razaqi); and Stateside (directed by Reverge Anselmo, starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Jonathan Tucker, Val Kilmer).

Zinc Entertainment was launched in 1999 by producer Joel Silver (Predator, Die Hard, The Matrix). One of the most prolific and successful producers in the history of motion pictures, Silver has produced a catalog of over 40 films, which have earned a combined gross of over $5 billion worldwide, averaging over $100 million per picture. With Zinc, Silver expanded his production prowess into the moderately priced action/adventure films market.
Upcoming Zinc releases, headed by President Steve Richards, include the next film in the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, Dungeons & Dragons 2: The Elemental Might, which completed photography in Summer 2004. Set to begin production in 2005 is the sequel to the highly successful Exit Wounds, which starred DMX and Steven Seagal, as well as action-thriller The Forerunner, the story of a man haunted by premonitions of future events, and Body Armor, about a retired bodyguard who is pulled back into action by the US Government to protect the infamous assassin who ruined his life.
---------------------------
* For those wondering why the sequels are being made. Money talks. The first movie made more money "internationally" then most people realize. And remember I just report the new bites I come across so don't bite my butt.

OK, I'm confused, Damodar was a sorcerer in the first movie? I thought he was just the muscle sidekick to Jeremy Irons. Did he go up a level and multiclass? I'm thinking his Sorcerer abilities must not be all that great. To me he certainly didn't come across with a high Charisma in the first movie. Well, maybe he'll at least get a new colorist, that blue lipstick just didn't work for him...
