D&D 2 Movie Preview at Gen Con!

[Mark Hope]

I felt that the first D&D movie perfectly captured the feel of the sorts of adventures I used to run when I was 14 or thereabouts. So I kinda have a soft spot for it.

"Beholders? Let's sneak around them!"

Classic stuff.

The first D&D film is a comedy classic! (Just be sure to have 3-6 pints beforehand.) I don't remember laughing so much in a theatre since.

I saw the first piece of dogswill in the theater.

After it was over I sat there open-mouthed for about five seconds ... and then I started laughing. And laughing. And laughing.

Loudly.

Fanboys up front arguing about how the movie HAD to be good stopped to watch the enormous guy in the back guffawing.

I'll probably see the next one too. I'm not going to hold my breath or anything. "The Gamers" was a better D&D The Movie than the D&D movie.

Hell yeah!

The guys in one of my groups refer to it as "the training film".

I heard Paris Hilton is going to be in this movie. Will she be there?

WRONG. She is not in the movie.

Well I would like to see the preview. To bab I will be stuck here working and not attending Gen Con.

 

[MacMathan]

Well at least there is supposed to be Gamers 2 at Gencon as a real DnD movie

 

[beaver1024]

OMG. Would someone please stop the abomination from being born!

Don't they realise that making a movie about a game system is a horrible mistake? Please do something more productive. Make a gay romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock and Natalie Portman please. It would be less spewtastic than D&D movie sequal.

Exactly so! All the odious clichés there was in the D&D 1 movie were indeed the same odious clichés we would use for years when running D&D games, including the absolutely non-medieval way of speaking of the protagonists looking more like teenagers having an argument around the gaming table.

On the other hand, was not Damodar supposed to have been killed in the first movie?

 

[A'koss]

I would have preferred they hadn't gone the live action route (which I assume this is) and instead spent that money on an solid animated series geared more towards adults. It's going to be a very tough sell I think, people demand a lot of their fantasy movies these days, especially in this Post-LotR era.

Just my 2 cp.

 

[Stone Dog]

i didn't see the first movie but i hear it wasn't such a success, why would they be making a new one?

Also apparently the thing did amazingly well in DVD sales.
