Just say NO.D&D is a game yes but it isn't Larping. Thrusting modern day people into the Fantasy setting is Larping.D&D is story telling after all, every one of you comes up with a character background based in the fantasy world (Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Spelljammer, Planescape, Dark Sun, etc....)you are playing in.That is where any D&D movie needs to start, the backgrounds of the "party". This can be done a number of ways Separate stories combining as the movie goes on, or my preferred style something like Snatch where something is happening, the screen pauses and the narrator describes the individual with some brief explanation of the nickname, and some defining characteristic.Add in some world background like (someone mentioned a cantina style scene in the tavern) a menagerie of D&D specific Races, and organizations, Floating Islands, high magic with items that replace real world items, Portals, Self sweeping broom, prestidigation to clean your clothes quickly, Bag of holding, magic lamppost, Runes, etc....And most importantly a good story that doesn't fall into the Tolkien Trap, with good action scenes. Hire some great stunt coordinators and real good swordplay (think Phantom Menace saber fights vs. A New Hope saber fights), good dialogue, not stupid accents. Don't force the speech with the robotic crap from the previous movies.</blockquote>
