D&D 2 Movie Preview at Gen Con!

[Ogrork the Mighty]

Also apparently the thing did amazingly well in DVD sales.

I heard it racked up a lot of rental sales as well...

And the returning cast member is Bruce "Damodar" Payne, if I understand it.

I hope the previews let us know whether or not he'll be wearing the blue lipstick this time. If he's gotta have blue lips, hopefully they'll do a better job depicting such in the sequel.

Are you kidding? That blue lipstick rocked!

The D&D film will be regarded by future audiences in much the same way as 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' is regarded now -- an unintentionally hilarious classic!

One can only hope that the sequel will be similarly amusing. (But, alas, by trying to make a 'good film', we will see probably see something like Ridley Scott's 'Legend'.)

I'm bringing a bag for emesis. I can't wait to fill it up.

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.

Throw in Bruce Cambell, a shotgun, a couple of ninjas, and that's about a perfect movie.

I remember Cindi Rice as the editor at TSR who did a lot of work on the Birthright stuff. Met her a few times at gen-cons of old. If she was involved, I have a bit more hope. (and if it's the same Cindi Rice)

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.

No reason they can't do both

Damodar is returning as a death knight, rumor has it. So I doubt he'll have lips at all.

Demiurge out.

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

Hey all!

I'm surprised by the number of pessimists here. Surely New Writer/New Script + New Characters/New Actors + New Director = New Hope!?

Just as long as it doesn't equal the Phantom Menace....

 

[Acid_crash]

Considering that this one is set a hundred years after the first, all the dumb characters from the first movie would be dead... and since Damodar is returning as a Death Knight, he did die and will be in the sequel. I hope he doesn't have blue lips though...that was painful to look at.

The first movie was bad because it wasn't a finished product when it was released. Had they finished the deleted scenes and put them in the movie, I'd have liked it a tad bit more.
