Message: <blockquote data-quote="Droogie" data-source="post: 184231" data-attributes="member: 1298">I'd boil it down to what I feel is the essence of D&D-A fellowship of four adventurers of varying talents. It would have to be an ensemble cast with no standouts, as someone already mentioned, although each character and their skills would have a chance to shine. A dungeon someplace.A dragon somewhere.A faux-medieval european setting. C'mon, ya gotta have this!A relatively simple, small-scale story. No need to get too epic...yet. The characters would be low-level in game terms. Courtney Solomon bit off WAY more than he could chew with his epic scope, but I digress.Except maybe the dragon, the beasties would have to be comparable  in power to the main characters. However, they GOTTA be unique to the D&D game..carrion crawlers. Gnolls. Kobolds. Lotsa Kobolds. No orcs- too Tolkienesque.Has to be some in-jokes. How about this scene: our intrepid heros come upon a towering statue of an evil diety. He holds in his outstretched hands the symbol of his terrible power: a 20-sided polyhedron. However, I'd go easy on the "gamespeak".. I think characters discussing what class they are or what level of power this or that spell is would sound really hokey. Now if the film did well and there was sequel talk, THEN we could start getting epic. Thats when we start rolling out the beholders. The umber hulks. the liches. Sigh.....even though the real D&D film came and went, and LotR rocked, I still daydream about being a filmmaker and making the TRUE D&D movie.</blockquote>
