D&D Movie/TV Dragonlancing TV show being worked on by WotC confirmed

[el-remmen]

I've already read the Dragonlance books more than once. I don't need (or really want) a series to cleave too tightly to the books. Not only does a change in medium require changes to the narrative, setting, and characters, but the books are not without their flaws that I imagine a TV series can fix or simply erase.

Which is from a comment made in February while discussing other projects. It's never been confirmed.

I was just noting that there's nothing new in this related to Dragonlance.

No. He said it yesterday during D&D Direct

This. The obsession with books being the same as tv / movies is odd to me. Like, really odd.

Now my question is if Laurana will be blonde or redhair.

That was far from a confirmation. If the movie does really well the odds of this happening definitely increase, but there are a lot of steps between working on a project and a TV series actually happening. It ain't real until there is a studio, show runner, and budget attached. And even then it might not get all the way onto air.

At best, this is "be guardedly optimistic" type news.

Laurana was a blonde. Tika was a redhead.

It’s not a matter or ANY change it’s making BAD changes. Like Lan and Nynaeve hoping in the sack asap. Not to mention Moraine being anything less than prim and proper around others.

Fundamental changes to the characters.

Cool. I liked both of those......

Cool. I didn't. Wasn't a fan of the Halo tv show and the Silent Hill films either.

Liked the RPO movie though despite it being 90% different.

Yes, revisiting the original books as an adult made me realize they were pretty flawed.
