I mean it doesn't matter in the slightest what edition we are in, movies will follow their own rules (if they have rules at all) and will (at best) rely on old material that made the grade.Look at the DC animated movies based on the comic books. Currently DC is in another reboot of the universe (called "New 52" among other terms) but several of the movies released during this new 52 era of comic books were all modeled on the pre-52 universe stories. I would presume DnD movies would be similar, like Nebulous says, "Icewind Dale trilogy" would be system-independent. The major requirement is that the movies be GOOD. A few good DnD movies and there might be a chance to get to DnD's version "Guardians of the Galaxy" but until we get some good ones with semi-well known properties we are stuck in neutral.So, I think the concept of a 5e golden age, or renaissance or whatever you want to call it, is a non-issue as far as DnD movies are concerned. It might matter some years later but that will still only be based on the new fluff that comes out in the mean time. Though in that regard I still expect them to avoid the disjointed parts in favour of the joined parts. Unless DnD/WotC/Hasbro needs the money from 5e DnD, I don't think it really matters if the game is a success or an abject failure.</blockquote>
