Paris Hilton is hellalame!

NOW LIVE! Into the Woods--new character species, eerie monsters, and haunting villains to populate the woodlands of your D&D games.
Just when I thought there might have been hope for the second D&D movie...

Two observations:
Agreed on Joel Silver's lackluster track record. There's no reason to think that his presence lends any hope to the proceedings.
There's no point in boycotting the movie. I mean, we're not the target market for this. Nobody cares if we like the film or not, so boycotting it isn't even going to show up as a blip on anyone's radar.
Finally, I just want to say that I really really wish that nobody had gotten interested in this, that the people who did the first one just kinda did another one in more or less the same vein, hopefully having learned a few lessons on story-telling in the interim, and opened up to the fans a little more. It'd be fun if there were this series of low-budget lame fantasy movies that nobody much watched but kept coming out every so often.
I don't want a D&D Pirates of the Caribbean. I want my D&D movies like I like my D&D campaigns -- pieced together by enthusiastic amateurs with more passion than talent, with more ideas than sense, not by professionals who'd just as soon be working on a romantic comedy or a searing family drama for all they care.
But I love enthusiastic amateurs. It's one of the things I love about the RPG industry. And the porn industry.
No, wait...

I wonder WotC would be thinking of for option rights to, say, Dark Sun? A low-budget Dark Sun movie could be fun. Could be doable.
*considers...*
You know, you just might be able to turn a profit on something like that. Get Brom to do a poster? Hm.
Suddenly I'm all interested...
I mean, just because the D&D trademark has been optioned off doesn't mean there isn't room for another franchise in the fantasy film market. I bet in the wake of LotR there's lots of producers looking for the right material....

Your probably right about there being no point in boycotting the movie, the first one was never made for the fans and it was never successful in creating new ones. So for all it's worth, it's a horrible movie that most people laughed at (who saw it) from every corner of the world. We can sit here all day and say "Wow it would be cool if they did it like this.." or "What they need is a dungeon crawl", but what good what that do? It was never made for the D&D fans and it doesn't look like this one is going to either.
But then again, many people on here don't care and are going to see it anyways, just because it has a D&D logo on it.
As for me, I would accept quality over quantity.

WHA WHA WHAT??
Well, maybe she'll be the one to throw rocks at the beholders and dash by... only to get blasted by a ray of disintegration, because unlike Hollywood, the floating eyeballs have learned.
Or maybe she'll wear blue lipstick and get a funky mindworm thing.
Or... ahh...
Maybe there's a gross skank succubus in this or something.

She could also serve as a human sacrifice....Though the heathen gods may get confused as of the fact that she is about 40% plastic and may not qualify as fully 'human'.
