[QUOTE="Oni, post: 4407449, member: 380"] Based on what I've seen around these boards I'm sure this would be probably not be well received but I would ditch the live action and go 2d animation, specifically with an anime type flare. The reason being is that dnd is very flashy with all sorts of weirdness crammed in it, and when you start breaking out so many special effects in conjunction with live action the brain refuses to accept it. The kind of over the top action and strange cocktail of weirdness that dnd represents to me would simply go down easier with animation. The greater degree of seperation from reality makes this work better IMO. Everything can just be grander in animation and that's just what a dnd movie needs. In my head I'm picturing some kind of kind of weird love child of Princess Monanoke and the Forgotten Realms. Also I want the shades as the primary villians just cause I like them. Actually I just recall someone did a small B&W short of a scene featuring Drizzt and company some years ago, that might provide just the tiniest glimmer of why dnd should be animated, that couple minutes of footage is cooler than all other dnd movies combined. :) If I have to go live action I want Tim Burton directing and China Mieville helping write, set in Planescape.
