[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5931998, member: 19675"] 1) There is no IP so radioactive that someone in Hollywood won't consider making a film of it. If nothing else, someone with an ego will say, "THEY screwed it up, but [I][B]I[/B][/I] can really do something with it! Especially with ___________ as my budget!" Or- like Marvel has done- they could file the numbers off and do something recognizably similar to the source material without using the source names. 2) Even if nobody wants to do a Dragonlance movie ever again, that is not the only setting in D&D's stable. Planescape, Eberron & DarkSun are all quite compelling and unique settings, for instance, and could be quite compelling on-screen. 3) The movies kept D&D's name in view, if nothing else. Having your name known in Hollywood is an asset in and of itself. 4) Hollywood isn't the only game in town. Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall" got made into a movie in India. Not big budget, not a blockbuster...but relatively faithful to the IP. [/QUOTE]
