Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness (2011)

[Mark CMG]

The second movie was definitely better (more a D&D movie) than the first but due in part to some special effects that must have cost them a fair amount. I wonder how the budget will weather the shift to SyFy.

 

[tajlund]

I have a good feeling about it. From what I've read they weren't working with much of a budget on Dragon King, so I don't think Syfy will be that much worse. I've actually seen some pretty decent effects out of Syfy lately. (am I the only one who really hates that stupid Syfy thing. Go back to Scifi, please.)

The second one was made in part for Scifi. It aired first on Scifi but, I don't think that they put much $$ into the project. It did go stright to DVD then within a month or two air on Scifi.

Dido on they should drop the silly Syfy and just rename the channel totally, as they show more stupid disasters movies/WWW than real Scifi projects.

 

[Klaus]

I hope they stick to monsters that fit their budget, instead of doing those half-a***d dragons from #1 and #2.

They should get the Henson Company to work on projects this. If they could get the same production values as an average of Farscape had, that'd be a step in the right direction.

I just had sudden visions of the party attacked by a Roc that has yellow feathers, a depressed Dire Mammoth, and a duo composed of a scrawny Green Slaad and a anthropomorphic pig (with IUC).

 

[Chainsaw Mage]

A third low-budget, straight-to-DVD film that uses the name "Dungeons & Dragons" in its title.

I'll try to contain my sheer, unadulterated excitement.

(Yawn)

I only know of 2- this one and the sequel to the original (which DID show in theaters).

It's time to play the music,
It's time to light the lights...




Or maybe a (possibly) more appropriate part of the theme song...

Why do we always come here?
I guess we'll never know.
It's like a kind of torture,
to have to watch the show.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I DID also have visions of the party being tormented by Statler & Waldorf...though in what capacity I was unsure.

Bards a la Sir Robin's troupe? BBEGs?
