Let's cast the D&D movie!

[Umbran]

There will be years between the Thor film and any possible Salvatore movie. Time will lessen the impact of the comparison a great deal.

As I suggested in the main D&D movie thread:

Vin Diesel as Minsc.

 

[megamania]

To really screw things up have the same actor that did Gandalf do Elminister

 

[Scorpio616]

D&D movie NEEDS the Deities causing issues like the greek gods. Even the good ones could have their own agendas.


Keith David as Bahamut
Tilda Swinton and/or David Bowie as Corellon Larethian.
Vin Diesel as Kord
Sadly my top pick Olidammara died.
John Glover as Asmodeus
Steve Buscemi & Joe Pesci as Demogorgon

the Clash of the Titans remake sucked so hard I had to watch the old version's claymation clips on YouTube just to wash the taste out of my brain).

Nice recovery. I think the best we can hope for here is something on par with the latest Conan movie.

And Nicholas Cage MUST be in there somewhere...

They could just do what Hollywood seems to WANT to do- cast Benedict Cummerbatch in EVERY role in the movie.

 

[Hand of Evil]

I think I would cast Ronda Rousey as a fighter.

I don't think there's any safe way of portraying drow so I don't know if a Drizzt movie would be possible.

- Cast black actors to play drow - Well no, you can't have a race of evil black people obviously.

- Cast white actors and use make-up - That's clearly going to be problematic.

- Cast racially diverse actors, don't use make-up but just use red or violet contact lenses to differentiate them from regular elves - This would be the best way of doing it but then you'd get the inevitable wave of D&D fanboys complaining that you'd strayed too far from the source material.

Defiance is doing just fine with dark purple Omec right now, and nobody raised a stink about a white actress in the blue-black makeup of Mistique in the X-Men movies.

I think black Drow would be just fine.

If not, that bodes ill for anyone attempting to do a cinematic/TV treatment of the Foreigner novels...

If they make it of the same quality as the previous two D&D movies... they will kill any attempts to create a franchise.

Ummm, they've made THREE D&D Movies, if you thought the first two were bad, don't bother trying to find the third.
