Brief glimpses show how the characters end up there, letting you know right away that it's a group thing, and not overly concerned with any one character.Then, something happens that involves each character's interests. The group has to work together, despite differences, to overcome the adveristy.Of course, to emphasize the D&D-ness of it, things could happen. Say, an Elf and a Dwarf or a Priest and a Rogue provide the main difference of opinion. The wizard and the fighter should be interesting characters, too, and I wouldn't push it much beyond that. And the main enemy might be a Red Dragon ravaging the countryside, and the characters only find out *after* slaying it that the true villain is hiding in the shadows right beneath their nose.I think a movie like The Scorpion King is very D&D-esque. Heck, you have the fighter (the main character), the healer (the"sorcererss"), the rogue (the horse thief), and the wizard (the absentminded inventor).In a D&D movie, you'd have to not focus on any one character, and instead on the group as a whole, and introduce them all close to the beginning, but then play it out like Scorpion King -- everybody has something to contribute.Of course, you'd have to get better writing and acting than was present in the Scorpion King, ideally, but I could swollow a D&D movie that was mostly a fantasy action flick. Heck, that's the way I ask a lot of players to envision the goings-on.</blockquote>
