[QUOTE="Truth Seeker, post: 1956977, member: 11804"] [b]Commentary[/b] Well, the only way I see anything coming to the screen in the future, will have to be in anime form...it is the logical course. The scenes could be much better, some liberties could be taken(hopefully not much) but, any gaming world could be be easily fitted into this format(too many [i]coulds' [/i]:) ). Doing it live action, will not bring it justice, but that is my [i]dollar[/i] on that view. And also, since I acquired a copy of [i]Lady Death[/i], anime from Taiwan or Japan will be best choice to do these worlds. And if, by some flipping miracle(don't hold your breath on that one), if someone(s) ever get the licenses to do this...I would say, start from the beginning of each world...a simply reason, reeducate or educate the [i]next generation[/i] that comes after us...maybe with a more expansive view(stuff not mentioned before) for enticement. But as usual, it comes down to profit, profit...marketable profit and fees, the sad equation in all this. I have said it before, and I will say it again, the field too wide, too diverse, D&D has become indirectly, a victim of their own success. Would I love to see something based on it...faithfully, of course. But look at it from a investor's POV....which will bring me back my investment? And lastily, it has come to my understanding, that the money made back from the first one(in DVD, VHS), was done overseas, not in the States, so guess where the ad market will be hitting again. If anyone knows the game player (of D&D) popualtion ratio to the US vs Europe ratio, lay it on me, it would be a interesting analysis to see. Now, I have answer my own question to why, there hasn't been news leaks on the film, set, cast interviews or pics...because they know, that the US crowd is too tough to please...well the majority that is...so why bother sharing anything about it. Or from the look of it...has the news buffs, hunters, shown any interest in it? *Compare this to Batman and the like* And finally, is there a salvation point, yes...go anime, do the genre with love and dedication(yeah...good luck on that), and we will see. I will be surprised at all...if someone thinks of this...and do something about it, but wait, it is not their fault either....the fans are including as well. I haven't seen yet, anything of fans protesting the treatment/quality of this beloved game*correction: done so for the first in reviews and forums, but not seen for the current, yet, in major ways. e.g. like news ads, etc. etc.* Fans did for Farscape. Displeasure was voiced for Green Latern, the first concept. The same done for Iron Man, a timberlake fall :p They doing it for B5. If there has been current protest, point me towards the direction of it, please. But to be fair, none of us knew of what to expect from the first film, but now that fact has now passed...again, we the fans, [i]the current buying power[/i], has not voiced a stronger word of defiance. Why? [/QUOTE]
