[QUOTE="Meloncov, post: 4094275, member: 17359"] I've always thought that the story of King Kius from Eberron could make an impresively original fantasy movie. Title: Kaius Plot:(Spoilers for Eberron) [sblock]Have roughly the first third of the movie deal with his fall from grace; his role in the start of the last war, consorting with Vol to save his nation, his murder of his wife, and becoming a vampire. Through out this, keep him as sympathetic as possible; make it clear that everything he does he does solely because it is necesary to preserve his nation. Than jump forward a hundred years and chronicle his return to the throne, removal of Vol, and negotioation of the Treaty of Thronehold[/sblock] Setting: Attempt to stear clear from as many fantasy tropes as possible; no elves or dwarves (don't write them out of the setting; just don't show them in the movie). Use the change in war tactics over time to emphasise the change in time; from LotR style armies in the begining to almost sci-fi battles with warforged, airships, and the like towards the end. Also, make a point of having everything gradually grow more and more decayed over the course of the movie. Visual Style: Heavily filtered live action with CGI enviornments, i.e. 300. This will allow for the style to be consistent throughout the movie while retaining a fairly small budget. Marketing: Play down the fact that it's based on Dungeons and Dragons, and focus towards a broader audience. Bring in teens with large battles and adults with the political intrigue. Tagline: How far must a king go to save his country? [/QUOTE]
