[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8914432, member: 11760"] Because that blurb is to convince retailers to stock the book. "Hey, this is a tie-in for a big movie" is the kind of thing you'd lead with, to say nothing of putting the characters on at least one of the two covers. I know the OGL mess has made it clear that WotC has some PR issues, but this is Marketing 101. At the very least, their retail sales team would have come back and asked why there weren't any obvious indicators about the movie connections if that's what this book is intended as. Might there be [I]some[/I] locations that carry over? Sure. Apparently the frozen prison from Rime of the Frostmaiden is in the movie and was developed for the movie first, but I don't think we can reasonably see Rime as a movie tie-in product unless, say, they wanted to put out either an alternate cover or a sticker or something showing the "AS SEEN IN THE HIT MOTION PICTURE" prison on the book.
