[QUOTE="Rygar, post: 6300537, member: 6756765"] Actually, since last year (Right after the lawsuits started flying), rumors were floating around that Hasbro was positioning DragonLance as a Game of Thrones style TV Series. Which makes sense because DL fits the serial TV show format better than movies as it lets them treat various novels as spin-offs if it succeeds. They could run the mainline novels as seasons, and do the more well respected novel series as mini-series in between. For example, after Legends book 1 they could do a mini-series of the Kingpriest trilogy. They could plug in Soulforge in between Chronicles and Legends, or they could plug in Draconian Measures/Kang's Regiment after Dragons of Summer Chaos. If it was a hit, they could leverage DL to be the "Marvel" of TV. DL has over 150 novels already written which could be turned into scripts in very short notice, making production substantially cheaper. This of course would also let them leverage the recognition into other series, like Ravenloft, for serials or mini-series. They also wanted to do a feature film of something as well. I've never come across rumors being specific about what though. I'd guess it was Ebberon or Drizzt though. [/QUOTE]
