May also delay the TV series and other properties tied into the Move.

Also I didn't know the original script was a bout the Eye of Vecna!

Yeah that’s fair. Hopefully it doesn’t mess anything up, and instead gives them more breathing room to make a good movie.

 

[JEB]

Not a big surprise. We're a ways off from getting Covid under control, and that complicates everything.

I heard it was because they had trouble getting Marlon Wayans and Justin Whalin to sign on.

And hopefully free of the covid situation.

Wow, they are really committed to making this film true to the D&D experience! As we all know, scheduling players and games always takes longer than you think it will!

Wait Hugh Grant is the main villain? That's amazing. I guess he got to the "you live long enough to become the villain" part of his life.

Wasn't he a villain in something else already?

Wasn't he a villain in something else already?

In Paddington 2 apparently - which I hear is very good but I haven't seen.

 

[toucanbuzz]

He got several "best supporting actor" nominations, including a BAFTA one, for his Paddington 2 role. I've never seen, but thinking he's a bit more skilled than the bumbling, stuttering, rom-com roles.

A few things. He’s not been playing bumbling romantic fops for a long time. You can only do that so long, and the man is 60 after all. Four Weddings was 30 years ago.

Off the top of my head, A Very English Scandal, The Gentlemen, Cloud Atlas, The Undoing. He’s more of a character actor these days.

No surprise, though I wonder if they're still aiming for a shared universe and how that affects the release date.

 

[Benjamin Olson]

My question is, is Hugh Grant's villain character Vecna himself? Because even decades after his days as stammering rom-com lead, the transition to terrifying Arch-Lich is kind of amazing.

Probably not, but I would love it. Very Order of the Stick.

"The Eye of Vecna" always sounded so cool. Dungeons & Dragons: The Eye of Vecna would be a great name for a D&D movie.

That's true.

 

[hopeless]

Does this mean Hugh is looking for his hand, eyes and the sword of kas?
After all his lieutenant's weapon has been theorized or rather could have been one of his phylactery's or was that just because it was cursed?
Does this mean an eye patch and a gloved hand like Luke?

Apparently parts of the movie have already been filmed!
