D&D Movies

Lots of D&D settings could be made into good movies... you just have to find the right story to make into a film...

While I may not be too horribly fond of it, Planescape would be cool if you could pull off the special effects and feelings for the different planes, though I wouldn't focus too much on the City of Doors, though if you introduced Sigil as the cliffhanger, it might be really cool...

Speaking as a Dragonlance fan from the mid-1980's, I doubt a Dragonlance movie would be made because it would now be accused of being too derivative of Lord of the Rings because, basically, it is. Heroes start being chased from town by bad guys, Quest centered around an artifact, White-bearded wizard who dies heroically from a great fall and is reborn in his true power, Trip through a huge ruined city, trip through a Dwarven Delve (in LOTR these were combined), Fight against a big scaly creature with horns, gigantic war scenes, noble personage trying to bury his past and love with an elven woman, some heroes of moral ambiguity, etc.

There are plenty of variations, mind you (and I'd LOVE to see Xak Tsaroth on screen), but the basic story borrows so heavily from LOTR the comparisons would be instant and merciless.

Henry, that was clarity I did not see, now it sadden me, that any and all hope has been but all...diminished.
 

I didn't hate the D&D movie. I think its gets an unfair beating by us gamers. I saw it the day it came out and bought the DVD as well. Could it have been better sure but it wasn't horrible. I am personally looking forward to the new D&D movie and will more than likely see it on opening night.

Isn't Paris supposed to be in this movie? If she is, I'll definitely watch it.

You're kidding, right?

I liked the D&D movie. I'd watch more of those any day. Certainly better than Conan The Destroyer or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a fun movie to watch. Despite the fact that you saw Sparrow "clones" at every con for a year or so afterwards (ie. Dragoncon)...
