[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 7695105, member: 6776288"] This could either be a smart move or a really stupid based-on-hot-new-takes-on-a-geek-genre move by Hollywood. Fantasy is JUST NOW starting to take off as a truly viable film genre (thanks to all the grown up geeks with disposable income both going to see the movies and make the movies), helped mostly by Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and partially by superhero movies (because superhero have to have a bit of the fantastic to them... except if they're the Fantastic Four). I agree with Jester that D&D movie should poke fun at stuff, a fighter calling out a wizard for hiding in a tower and such. Hopefully a good writer is brought on and the studio doesn't mess with the script too much. After Deadpool, I also hope the studio is willing to be a little more liberal with situations in the movie. Not necessarily the language, just ridiculous situations. Maybe get Vin Diesel to play Minsc. Imagine him shouting 'Go for the eyes, Boo!' and I bet you won't be able to get that thought out of your head. I'm serious about getting Vin Diesel. The man loves gaming, he's passionate about things he's in, he tries to ensure things he's in are at least entertaining, and he'd probably help bankroll the movie. But his schedule probably wouldn't permit him to be in anything D&D related for quite a while. I just hope that the movie is treated with respect for the source material and not turned into a farce.
