[QUOTE="Ristamar, post: 6680298, member: 1207"] [i]Guardians[/i] was mentioned a few times in this thread, and it's not a bad framework. Granted, it was able to lean heavily on the trust Marvel Studios had built up through its many other movies along with some ongoing hooks and teasers (Infinity Stones, Thanos, etc) that the fans wanted to see. Pushing aside the hobby's stigmas or the baggage of its previous cinematic failures, I guess the real question is "what stuff does D&D bring to the table?" If we're assuming a studio has lined up a good fantasy script and a good cast (which is a BIG assumption) that you can retool to fit into a branded skin, why choose something tied to D&D? There's a lot of fantasy fiction out there that could fit the bill. I'm hoping that whatever D&D movie is made won't feel like it's the on screen representation of a random homebrew Story Hour* because even if it turns out to be an okay movie, I'm not sure it would be financially successful. *[SIZE=1]No disrespect to the Story Hour forum; there's a lot of great threads in there that I've enjoyed.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
