[QUOTE="Fabio Andrea Rossi, post: 6685319, member: 67378"] A FR movie would be more than fine as long as it's not a movie about a single fated hero saving the world, which in FR is sadly more probable than DL or most other settings due to the strong presence of Elminster, Drizz't and many other powerhouses. Drizz't is probably the more popular D&D character out there and the temptation will be huge. I haven't read DL in a long, long time and yes, it may read dated but the tale is strong enough to become a good movie imho, time has not that much influence in how strong a story is. The tale of the brothers mainly really impressed me back then. Ehi, they made a pretty decent Troy movie out of a "dated" tale... But really, a FR movie would be more than nice to me, FR surely is "standard D&D fantasy". Better yet, if (but it's a huge IF) they can both make a great D&D movie AND base it on a new story, with compelling new characters and an intriguing surrounding world it may even be the forthcoming of a new setting...I'd love it, if they can make it right. You know what? I'd really love something refreshing like the very, very old D&D spirit of characters more like a band of mercenaries looking for riches than heroes saving the world from disaster. Life or death situations, bigger than life but somehow antiheoroic characters. In other words, a party of BRONNs (from Game of Thrones) and Raistlins and perhaps some less evil version of Entreri trying to carve a place in history. That's what we all really played when we were kids, I think. At least that would be new :) [/QUOTE]
