A Billion-dollars? D&D is a billion dollars franchise?

presents a decorated warrior and his hand selected heroes representing Intelligence, Wisdom, Honor and Strength

Wait...is that a new feature upcoming feature in D&D, that we don't know about...*Honor*?

Aha! Finally we know something about 4th edition!

Maybe they used it in place of "Hero Points."

*Don't believe the HYPE!! *

About this movie Truth? Probably not since I doubt ANY hype around it can be that good.

Well, let me share my dismay with this. Since, the new posting by nikolai. I went on a Goggle, Yahoo and MSN search. Even to the point of backtracking any possible Cannes Festival news about it.

I found....0.

I spent three to fours hours, looking for any advance sneek peek stuff. All I got where last year forum discussions, reviews on the first one, and trash talk about the second one, and believe me...people are just besides themselves with this whole matter.

There was one article spotted, in the Sci Fi section at SCI FI Wire, a old piece, where there a statement line was made..."the movie will be made or will be going alone with the rules of the D&D franchise in general" a near quote. One word of advice...does the word 'stagant' mean anything...if you make a movie from a non-moving static material.

It is now...May. Suppose release is in October...overseas first. Principle shooting ending around two or three months ago. And still...no public release, unless you go looking directly in some overseas site that has the info...on something. Finding anything about it on the public domain...is like trying to find a Shadow Dragon, with a excellent Hide in Shadows skill...good luck.

It sounds harsh...but it is a fair assesstment, that if there no big drums beatings to signal the coming of it. All those later cat-calls whistles...will not get my attention.

I am surprise at one thing through all this...why WOTC hasn't stoke the fires, for this 'next' adventure to the general public?

That I believe...is my rebuttal...long delayed.

Interesting truth. Though honestly I think you COULD find a Shadow dragon in complete darkness that is hiding, just use True Seeing.

But regarding this movie...eh I'm just not seeing all the hype that was around the first one for one reason:

Sequals RARELY do well.

True Seeing doesn't do anything to spot things that are hiding by mundane means (ie through a Hide check).

I don't have very high expectations for this movie, but I think it'd be fairly hard to make it worse than the first.

Probably because having learned their lesson with the first D&D film, they want to distance themselves so they can readily say they either support or not support the film. Kinda like how Ursula LeGuin(sp?) having discredited SCI-FI's Earthsea mini-series based on her novels.

*Looks at RR's statement, with great sadness* Now...that is something to really ponder. And since it was stated, that some of technical advice was given by 'WOTC' personnel to help with the 'film'. All this silence...for now, from them. It is not a pleasant indicator on the outlook.
