[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9042372, member: 6802378"] Here the most important one is the movie was enough fun to become a fan favorite. In the first Tim Burton's Batman movie Warner lost money because they spent too many money to promote, but now Batman is the most valious IP by Warner. D&D allows a lot of different styles, not only comedy or kid-friendly fantasy(Witchlight) but also horror (Ravenloft), palace intrigues(Birthright, years before the saga of song of ice and fire) or postapocalipse (Dark Sun). If you want to tell a good story, then a serie, or mini-serie should be a better option because there is more time to tell more detailes about the plot and the characters. If you are talking about a serious D&D production, Ravenloft should be the right option. With the right screenwritters you shouldn't need a lot of money for the FXs. Audience could enjoy the story and no lore should be neccesary. I suggest something like the serie "From", or the movies "Ready or not" or "the Invitation". Birthright is the right option if Paramount wanted a serie with the style Game of Thrones/House of Dragons, but the setting could be radically rebooted. Planescape could be for an animated comedy for adults style Star Treck: Lower Decks or Ricky&Morty. Why not a pilot episode to test the reaction of the audience? Any new about the production of Dragonlance? Radiant Citadel could be a family-friendly animated fantasy comedy. I suspect Dark Sun is going to be replaced by a spiritual succesor, something like "the demiplane of the desolation". * [I]Spoiler: Vecna's eye and hand will appear in the post-credit scene of the future G.I.Joe movie.
