[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1352148, member: 2012"] It's already slated to go into production. Here are a couple of blurbs, one from ICv2.com and the other from Dragon Magazine. [b]Note:[/b] I don't write 'em, I just post 'em. Cheers! KF72 ===================================================== [b][i]Dungeons & Dragons Sequel in '04[/i][/b] [b]Joel Silver Will Produce[/b] [i]May 22, 2003[/i] According to Variety, [i]"Joel Silver's Silver Pictures will produce [b]Dungeons & Dragons: The Sequel[/b] for an early 2004 release."[/i] The first Dungeons & Dragons film, produced by New Line in 2000, was, in spite of a cast that included Jeremy Irons and Thora Birch, such a horrible bomb that the first thing that Silver should do is to lose the [i]"sequel"[/i]---try to keep the D&D brand, but sever all connections to the New Line film. Filmed on the cheap in Rumania, the first D&D film was so dingy and colorless that it made the worst of its contemporaries such as the murky and muddled Battlefield Earth look like a Target commercial. The fantasy revival led by Lord of the Rings undoubtedly has something to do with the decision to make another D&D feature film. While the D&D brand remains the [i]"gold standard"[/i] in the world of role- playing games, the next live action D&D film had better please the game's core audience, and films like the LOTR trilogy have raised the bar considerably since the first D&D film was released in 2000. More competition arrives this summer in the form of a computer animated interactive D&D feature that is by its very nature, much closer to the actual experience of playing the game (see [i]"A D&D Interactive DVD"[/i]). ===================================================== [b]Read this in the sidebar on page 6 of the Augest 03 issue of Dragon Magazine.[/b] [i][b]Another D&D Movie?[/b] It's happening again. Variety reported that Zinc Entertainment, a division of Joel Silver's Silver Pictures, will produce Dungeons & Dragons: The Sequel for an early 2004 release. Matt(*) is already in line for tickets. If you see him in his lawn chair and sleeping bag outside the theater, take pity -- please don't put spare change in his coffee.[/i] * I'm assuming 'Matt' is Matthew Sernett, Dragon's Senior Editor, although it could also be referring to Matt Beals. Dragon's Prepress Manager. ===================================================== [/QUOTE]
