Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9810875" data-attributes="member: 18">They're deeply interrelated factors, that are basically impossible to separate without the OP specifying more parameters.Movies that aren't really "feasible" tend to get very low budgets, usually a lower than what they "need" to do what they want to do.[USER=1]@Morrus[/USER] is spot-on in saying "Why wouldn't you use Dracula?". And that means, unless the OP specifies a budget and so on, which the film has mysteriously acquired, we naturally tend to be somewhat realistic about it, and look at what Ravenloft movie would be made, not, in an ideal world, could be made.The thing is, directing, acting, script, editing, sound design, and actual specific concept can make the difference between a 10/10 movie and an 1/10 one. There's nothing inherent to Ravenloft that makes it likely to produce a good movie. It's not an exceptionally compelling or filmic setting. It doesn't have a story, and "typical" adventure story for Ravenloft is rather hackneyed and seems even a little bit childish. So if anything, there are inherent characteristics of Ravenloft that mean it would be harder to make a good movie set there specifically, than it would be to, say:A) Make a Dracula movie.B) To make a fantasy-world set horror movie which wasn't trying to be Ravenloft specifically.If the question is just "would a Ravenloft movie be a good movie", because we have so few parameters, we kind of just have to look at the factors which make it more likely to be good, or more likely to be bad. And the "likely to be bad" factors applying to a Ravenloft movie wildly outweigh the "likely to be good" ones. I can enumerate them if you really want but it's kind of a laundry list.</blockquote>
