If we were to see a new and better D&D movie, what setting would you like it to be?

Funny, cause I never really saw Eragon (and I don't intend to).

It's kinda okay (the dragon effects are amazing), if you don't mind Star Wars with Dragons.

They should just use WotBS. It's good enough for a video game, apparently.

Ooops. Did I just give something away?

I just checked it out, and it's alot more similar to Star Wars than I thought.

BTW, are swordmages D&D's answer to the Jedi?

Yeah, the effects were good, and I thought the movie was okay...then I read the book...

The book is almost nothing like the movie, virtually an entirely different story...and much, much, Much Better.

Mind flayer brain-sucking works.

I wouldn't toss in a beholder just to have a beholder there...I would stick with a main villain and some similar supporting villains (meaning, having an underdark hierarchy of drow, mind flayers, duergar, aboleth, and other types, plus slaves and whatnot is too much for most people.) Maybe mind flayers and a few 'slaves' that they have. And, just make sure that the 'head' mind flayer is somebody the audience can easily identify and can hate.

I wouldn't get too complex, unless there is some sort of weekly series on SyFy.

If not an underdark "hierarchy," perhaps it would be better to have an underdark "lower-archy," with the aboleths the lowest of them all.

Mighty forges of evil heated by blasts from titanic bellows, powered by slave labor, to fire and quench weapons of dark smashing and cutting:
"The Dark in the Bellows."

It can start out with Mr. Mole cleaning his house, getting tired of it, and rushing off in exasperation, only to meet Mr. Wererat caulking his stealth-scow just upriver from the Were-wier; they both travel to the Old Wood to escape Mr. Bulette, who has trouble surfacing through the thick, intertwined roots of the trees there. In the Old Wood, Mr. CalamityBadger (you have to have something new) tells them of the problems with the behavior of Mr. GiantToad and his bevy of worshippers, and his love of fast motorcars, and his debilitating WoW habit.

Or not. . . .

I know how to do tricks with forced perspective (and the old "iguanas in costumes" = dinosaurs stuff) & green screens.

The trick will be editing out all the white marbles when the Giff are on the screen.

Excuse me if I'm being dense, but white marbles?

The other stuff sounded great. When I get more than $50 million you'll be my first contact.

Yup!

As Homer Simpson would say, "Now let's play the waiting game... Nuts to that. Let's play Hungry, Hungry Hippos!"

I did laugh at that. Strange I didn't get that earlier. I knew they were hippo men...
