They wanted a few changes done (which resulted in the hokey ending - watch the DVD alternate ending, which is much better), but it was mostly done by the time they went looking for a distributor. I wish the original web site for the film was still up -- it had a number of things on it that addressed some of the reasons it turned out to be less than what was intended --  but it's been taken down and wasn't archived; at least the <a href="http://www.archive.org/" target="_blank">Wayback Machine</a> can't get it. Nor can I find anything about Don Whetsell, the former webmaster for <a href="http://www.dndmovie.com" target="_blank">www.dndmovie.com</a> (dead site). <a href="http://www.crescentblues.com/3_6issue/dungeons_dragons.shtml" target="_blank">An interview with Corey Solomon</a> <a href="http://www.gamers.com/s/feature/001204-dndmovie/index" target="_blank">Largest still-extant interviews I can find</a></blockquote>
