To be fair I've only read one Dragonlance book many years ago, but I never found any of the D&D-based novels very interesting. They may or may not have any merit but D&D is about creating your own stories....which is part of the problem in creating a successful D&D movie. When they made the LoTR series, they had one fairly unified set of source material to work from, and they produced an interpretation that a large number of people found acceptably faithful. In contrast, there's no agreement as to what is good in D&D or even what D&D is; it's a very fractured fan base. When they made the first movie, 3e was a reasonably obvious choice, but now it's not clear what edition you'd base it on.Personally, I don't want a D&D movie based on the novels, I don't want one that has anything to do with 4e, and I don't want one that's PG-13. Of course, these are all things that make movies marketable. They already tried making an "original" movie and they blew it. No one is likely to put big money towards that again and small money is not going to make a great movie. Here's hoping for Baldur's Gate: the Movie...</blockquote>
