[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4905413, member: 54707"] I don't know. If all a film had going for it was D&D then I wouldn't wanna see it, and I like D&D. To me to be decent at all it would have to actually be about something, other than the game or components of the game. If it were just about the game or components of the game or aspects of the game or elements or monsters of the game or some random set of characters or character types then I could get much better in my own games. And a film about parts of a game just wouldn't sell to the general public, I suspect, anymore than it would sell to me. No, it would have to actually be about something. Something much greater and more important than just the trappings of D&D and a game. Otherwise I just can't see the general public giving a crap or putting money in to see it. Personally I'd skip the whole D&D part and just make a really good and interesting fantasy film that was actually about something and if necessary make allusions to D&D. And that ain't even really necessary. Not from the general public point of view, and you'd have to sell to them. Fanboys alone won't generate more than coke and candy money and a three week ride in a theater. Or it would just go straight to DVD on the bargain bin. [/QUOTE]
