[QUOTE="Melba Toast, post: 4663560, member: 80591"] I'm curious... how would you, as gamers, react if Hasbro made a D&D movie based on the 80's cartoon? Let's say they have a huge budget and top talent involved. Would you see it? Would you be outraged? Personally, I'd dig it. I think any D&D movie is going to turn out as campy trash no matter how hard the filmmakers try, so a slightly tongue-in-cheek movie based on the cartoon, imho, could be goofy fun. Can't you just see it? Eric's dad is a nuclear physicist experimenting with quantum mechanics when he opens a portal to The Realm. The Kids are drawn through the portal. Cue encounter with Tiamat, Venger, and DM. Then the kids set out on a crazy fantasy adventure to get home. A parent or adult eventually follows them, and is captured by Venger. Venger learns of "the real world", and the film climaxes as Venger leaps into the real world, let's say Pheonix, Arizona, and Venger tries to capture a nuke or something. Think it sounds too stupid? This really isn't that far removed from Narnia or Neverending Story, or any of countless other fantasy adventure films which kids of all ages have loved for generations. Hollywood, send me a small check and I'll write the screenplay tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
