[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 7668560, member: 2067"] ....I would be all "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" if they did that. Though speaking of D&D movies being made by famous directors makes me wonder what, like, a Cohen Brothers D&D would look like (a madcap adventure for a pile of gold featuring actual horrible things!), or a Wes Anderson D&D (well-dressed cosplayers trading quips with erudite monsters?), or a Scorsese D&D (a group of thugs on the wrong side of the law can't bring themselves to trust each other) or a Nolan D&D ("Why do you keep returning to the dungeon?" "Because I need to FIND HER!")... I think one of the strengths of the D&D brand is that I have played games in ALL those modes, and then some. I think that D&D doesn't need to rely on one vibe, it just needs to [B]be good[/B], and the rest will follow. "Be good" might mean explosions and Megan Fox and a Beholder that talks in catchphrases, but....you know, for certain values of "good," that works, if it embraces the cornball and delivers some good action scenes. But even if it does that, it shouldn't be LIMITED to that. Obvious choices would include Sam Raimi, Joss Whedon, and Peter Jackson...and even they would do very different kinds of D&D movies.
