The best way that this could me made is to cater the ship the script to an independent studio, take it to the fest circuit sans fantasy elements (or go minimalist) then sit back and hope it generates enough buzz that you can get a multiple investors on to produce the movie so you could pitch it to a studio for circulation rights.Of course, I mentioned Terry Gilliam because he's a master at getting "fantasy" movies made on a shoestring budget and an expert at convincing studios to fork over millions of dollars on projects that are destined to die in the box office.  If anyone can convince a studio to fork over 150 million to make a Gary Gygax movie, it would be him.* Black Hole as in it will cost more to produce and advertise than it could ever hope to generate.</blockquote>
