New D&D Movie Announced

[Silaqui]

I didn't think the first movie was so bad. But then again I am partial to rogues since that seems to be the character I play the most. I hope they do come out with the second movie soon, it may be interesting.

I still find it amusing that most gamers hated the D&D movie, but most movie critics liked it. They didn't proclaim it to be the best movie ever, but the reviews were generally favorable.

Where did you see favorable reviews of it? I never saw one review of it that didn't paint it as a bomb. Gamers and critics alike hated it.

"Jeremy Irons wasn't content to just give it 100% he gave it 150%"

Didn't I post quotes of critics dogging the movie already?.....yes above. I never saw a actual good review of it, heck I never saw a a actual ok review of it.

Truly the inspired acting of a man getting paid a lot of money to do something he didn't want to do. I wonder if he made them pay him in advance?

I thought it was Thora Birch that does not want to be on the set. She thought of it as a vacation after shooting the American Beauty film.

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post this here for any of you closest D&D: The movie fans who are interested in talking about the movie on a positive note.

Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie Yahoo Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DungeonsAndDragons-the-Movie/

NOTE: This yahoo group is not a place to come and start bashing the D&D Movie or those that liked the movie and want to see the sequel. Thus, if you don't have anything nice/civil to say on the yahoo group then don't bother joining.

I'm sure a lot of you won't want to, and I know the movie is a touchy subject for a lot of D&D fans and movie fans. The simple rule is, if you wouldn't say it on EN World then you can't say it on the yahoo group.

Also, like I said it's a place for positive feedback and positive suggestions for D&D: The Sequel. Also, if you have any verified news about the movie, from an official source then feel free to either post it to this thread on EN World or at the yahoo group, if you decide you want to join.

Anyway, here's hoping the second movie has a bigger budget.

Cheers!

p.s. If you make trouble on the group, I'll ban your buttocks off it and tell Eric's Grandma you're the rude & surly sort!

Well considering Joel Silvers company is on board, it can only be a good thing. As for it being a sequel, that doesnt mean that that will be the title, or that the movie will have any continuity with the first.

Depending how the whole fantasy wave pans out after RotK, will probably influence if this thing gets made and who will actually be brought in to do it.

And given this has just been announced methinks it'll be a while before we see anything useful to grok off of.

I dunno...

With DMX and Jet Li slated for it, it sounds like it'll try much more to be "Awesome action and kick-ass explosions" than "Fantasy-Drama-Comedy."

Every Jet Li movie I've seen so far I've hated. And I don't know much about DMX, so no thanks.

But anyway, they didn't sucker me the first time, and they won't sucker me this time. On opening night I plan to be sitting at home watching my Lord of the Rings DVD's.

Joel Silver's company made the first one too. Here's hoping they learned their lesson the first time around.

Made might be too generous, vomited is probably more appropriate.
