[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7713507, member: 22779"] See, but, there's the thing. Bupo could be entirely cut. She appears in only a small part of the first novel and never again. Just some random Gully Dwarf that Raistlin hits with a Charm Person. Now, it's a pretty touching scene and all that, but, this is a character that would have, at most, ten minutes of screen time. You're not going to get a good actress for that. And, that's the thing. There's a LOT of the novels that can be axed without too much issue. The whole Kitiara storyline, really, doesn't matter in the long run. Has nothing to do with the actual main plot of stopping the Dragonarmies. You could cut everything about Kitiara, which also means Sturm doesn't really matter anymore either, so, cut him out too and no one would even notice. Well, WE'D notice, but, I'm talking about non-novel fans, which is probably the majority of people, if this movie is going to be successful. Look, again, as a fan, I'd LOVE to see a 9 hour Dragonlance epic. But, I just really don't see it happening. There's no way that a production company is going to front this idea. Especially when you have flops like John Carter and Warcraft sitting there. "Hey, we'd like to have several hundred million dollars to make a movie about dragons ..." Good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
