From the article:

"Tentatively titled 'Raistlin Must Die', Silver is currently pitching the D&D sequel to Jet Li and Tom Arnold; DMX is contractually obligated to play the role of dual crossbow wielding bard, which will provide much of the sequel's soundtrack. Other players TBA."

Oh brother.

Would it be impossible of them to use XXX's D&D character?

Dungeons & Dragons Sequel in '04
Joel Silver Will Produce

May 22, 2003
According to Variety, "Joel Silver's Silver Pictures will produce Dungeons & Dragons: The Sequel for an early 2004 release." The first Dungeons & Dragons film, produced by New Line in 2000, was, in spite of a cast that included Jeremy Irons and Thora Birch, such a horrible bomb that the first thing that Silver should do is to lose the "sequel"---try to keep the D&D brand, but sever all connections to the New Line film. Filmed on the cheap in Rumania, the first D&D film was so dingy and colorless that it made the worst of its contemporaries such as the murky and muddled Battlefield Earth look like a Target commercial.

The fantasy revival led by Lord of the Rings undoubtedly has something to do with the decision to make another D&D feature film. While the D&D brand remains the "gold standard" in the world of role-playing games, the next live action D&D film had better please the game's core audience, and films like the LOTR trilogy have raised the bar considerably since the first D&D film was released in 2000. More competition arrives this summer in the form of a computer animated interactive D&D feature that is by its very nature, much closer to the actual experience of playing the game (see "A D&D Interactive DVD").

I will see this, because I am a tool.

I'll see it, but I'm afraid I'll have to shower afterwards.

The last movie was so horrible my wife revoked my movie-choosing rights after I took her to see it.

That's all she did? Count your lucky stars you are still married!

I'm just now recovering my sight and senses after the last D&D movie. When I heard news of this new D&D movie, one thing went through my mind:

"OH GOD! THE PAINAGE!!!!"

 

[Sejs]

I will watch serveral episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 beforehand.



Then I will go watch it with a group of friends, and my sarcastic movie-quipping guns will be loaded for bear. Burn me once - shame on you, burn me twice - shame on me. I will not be blindsided by another D&D movie again.
