Do a Driz'zt/Artemis series or Dragonlance or any of the many good series of books telling an Epic story (I always thought the novels around the Time of Troubles would make a decent movie). Aussies managed to fuck up the TV series Legend of the Seeker, I don't expect much from this new movie.

I thought that series started out strong, but went down hill quickly. Especially the second season. The guy they had playing Richard was weak as an actor. The confessor was damn fine, though. Both in acting and appearance. The guy playing Zeddicus was decent.

I happily paid to see most of the recent comic book movies, which I enjoyed despite mediocre scripts and ham acting. It doesn't have to be a Work of High Art to be fun, a beloved subject lets me overlook a multitude of sins. Plus, I have to cast a movie dollar vote to balance someone in my family, who shall remain nameless, insisting on seeing 50 Shades of Grey� Just keep her away from the hardware store mate!

	Any fantasy world without smoking hot leather-clad sado-masochistic ninja assassins is not a world I want to be in. That said, I don't remember nearly that much violence done by the females in that series. Mind you, I only got as far as the Chicken of DOOOOOM!

	D&D's problem is its strength. It's generic on purpose. They'd probably have a better chance starting a TV series. And quick, to jump on the GoT wagon.

The actress playing Kahlan Amnell was in the Agent Carter TV mini-series recently. As a bad ass female assassin. Still smoking hot.

I honestly thought this was the direction D&D would go was TV series. If you are talking Dragonlance or a Drizzt series it makes more sense to me. You can only cram so much into ~ 2 hours. A 10 episode season would allow for better story telling. Also, I hope they go more for the D&D feel. A party of 5 to 6 members doing a quest. Basically try to replicate the Mission Impossible or Fast Furious model in fantasy. Those work great. But they are basically procedurals. Consider MI. Do you know Ethan Hunt's origin story? Nope. Do you know Benjis? Nope. Brant? Nope. Give a fuck? Nope. All that matters is you have 5 people on a mission. Same with Fast/Furious. You have 6 -7 people that work together for simple reasons and they do bad ass stuff on missions. The MCU world building is awesome. Same with LoTR and GoT. But too much complexity creates a barrier to entry too. You can sit down and watch any MI or Fast Furious movie and not need to have seen any of the previous ones and you are missing very very little. James Bond is a similar model (although the recent group has a more unified ongoing plot. The older ones were very much independent)

It would break your "sit down and watch any one" goal (which has definite benefits) but I'd love to see them do it as a TV series on the pattern of Babylon 5. D&D would fit perfectly in that format. The sense of progression is important to D&D.

Yeah, getting JMS to do a long arc D&D TV series would be as fangasmic as getting Grinding Gear games to make a D&D MMO, but I'm doubtful either would want to deal with the BS of the IP holders. But who knows, maybe Hasbro & WB would realize how awesome that would be and would play nice, it could make them a ton of money.

	I'm not expecting anything "good" from this movie... it's an outcome of a "deal" between fighting sides. Something like the 2000 d&d movie is what i'd be expecting, which was somewhere between 0 and -99999999 stars.

But to tell the story to it's potential, it would need to have production values Like LotR or the Hobbit. And quality, serious acting talent. And decent direction. None of which, I believe, Warner is willing to pay for.

Yup, it would need the Peter Jackson Treatment to get it's full potential... that would make 10+ films for the whole DL Campaign ( at 2 or 3 per book ). WB definitely won't buy it, though I'm certain that it would bring back big money, as the original DL series is almost as well known as the LoTR.

	Baldur's Gate series would make a good trilogy like Lord of the Rings. Also, fuck Vin Diesel. Tom Hardy would make an awesome Abdel Adrian, or Sarevok. Stephen Amell (from Arrow) as Artemis Entreri?
