[QUOTE="MadPuppy, post: 6679441, member: 6799667"] Completely agree, I was just being transparent. While thee are Campy movies that I really liked. For this project I don't advocate that way to go. I failed to mention the sinbad movies I liked them too. I just know that I'm tired of "save the world" fantasy. It for one doesn't lend itself to sequels very well....for example, yet again we must save the world from the Evil Devil, Bad Guy, or crazy nut....Yawn..... I think some other posters here said it best: D&D is about story telling in a fantasy setting. Make the movie in a D&D world, don't make the movie about a game. don't describe everything in D&D terms either, that was part of the mistake of the 3rd movie: "epic", "Cleric/Paladin", etc.... what they got right was the bag of holding, the gate keeper, some of the settings. Some of my thoughts to bring Fantasy to the masses (ala Comics): 1. A ghost story in a fantasy setting 2. Mob/heist movie in fantasy setting (Zhentarim as Mobsters) - Kinda like the idea of a Quentin Tarantino/Guy Ritchie movie here - I like the multiple stories that intersect type of plots. 3. Mystery/Serial Killer story in Fantasy setting 4. Tomb of Horrors? White Plume Mountain? as a movie - classic dungeon crawl with traps fantastic creatures, very Indiana Jonesish - Though the module concept fits better as an episodic TV series type of thing. 5. The dirtry Dozen as a fantasy war movie? 6. Western in a fantasy setting - Clint eastwood drifter type rolls into town, Bad guys abound. [/QUOTE]
