D&D movie sequel update.

Once, shame on you. Twice shame on me.

The only thing I hope, is that WOTC get's more experience in working with filmmakers and that it eventually leads to a Dragonlance Movie....or something of substance... or ANYTHING WITH SUBSTANCE for that matter.

I would love for a Dark Sun setting. I've never been big on Dark Sun in the gaming catagory, but have always thought it would be a great setting for a Fantasy Movie because of it's originality.

I think somewhere in the $100+ mil range.

Yep, about $125 million, IIRC. But don't forget, they saved an eight figure sum by creating a SPFX studio in New Zealand.

I didn't know who Paris Hilton was, until last night, when I saw a documentary on her. I don't hate her but I do think she's no better looking than any plain Jane with a fortune to spend on cosmetics and workouts would look. I have no reason to believe she'd make a good actress either.

But yeah, I'm up for another D&D movie. Surely it cannot be as bad as the last one. Surely!

Does that method usually work for other films based on different media franchise, be it books or videogames?

Paris Hilton is NOT in this movie.

Just because a movie is released straight to DVD does not mean it will be a bad movie. I've seen many movies whose creators couldn't afford to put it into theaters and try to advertise it. These movies, while not always great, were not necessarily terrible.

With that, that does not mean I'm going to be running to the store to get this movie, that's for sure.

(Oh who am I kidding, yes I will! We all know we will, if nothing else so we can compare it to the first movie. )

The movie WILL see a theatrical release, before going to DVD. The only release date known for the movie is October 6th in Russia. However, the last I read on the IMDB Messageboard for D&D II, the movie won't be released until mid to late January of 2006. Whether or not that pushes back the International release of the film or just the North American release, I don't know.

The Distributors for this movie are Warner Brothers (USA), First Look Media (non-USA), Lizard Cinema Trade (Russia) (theatrical), and Warner Home Video (USA) (all media).

Hmm, interesting...

I guess I'd rent the new movie on DVD before I'd buy it. I'm sure it will be better than those goofy Sci-Fi channel monster movies

Depends on how bad the first installment of those mediums are. With movies and books, yes. With "Video Games", not always because of technology and game play.

Why give something a second chance when there are so many others doing it right the first time? So I won't miss out? lol! I'll take my chances.

Anyone object to shooting a Dragonlance film in New Zealand?

While I should be all for this, any Dragonlance movie would have to be made in Turkey. After all, they've got the experience!

[gigglegigglegiggle]

(Aww... I can't find their website any more! No more mop-on-the-face Flint! )

-Hyp.

Edit - hmm... I might have their trailers downloaded somewhere! Must look!

Turkey? I'm missing the joke I'm afraid... :\
