[QUOTE="MadPuppy, post: 6685866, member: 6799667"] Really loving the amount of attention to this thread, I think it shows there is definitely an audience for the movie. There is also a large range of opinions and fear of a disaster like the last ones.... I see the competing basics: 1. Modern day people thrust into the fantasy world 2. Tolkien Trap fantasy (heroes must save the world (yawn....) 3. Good story Pure fantasy with elements nodding towards Forgotten realms, A group of heroes more like Mercenaries, solving a puzzle or finding a prize. My personal opinion is #3 obviously..... I'm seeing a possible use of #1 however in that maybe the movie could start with players around a table getting ready for their game, the movie begins as the game play begins, and we just do the whole story in the Fantasy realm.....It's a game night, that we see what goes on in the players mind so to speak.....We don't see the gamers again till the very end, and everyone is congratulating each other for a good game night. This is the ONLY scenario I picture the modern people in fantasy setting. I definitely don't want to see the modern people actually transported there, and discovering their way in the new world.....To Childish in my opinion. To CARTOONISH, and likely to lead to campiness.
