Is there -any- chance of a decent D&D movie?
Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite movies. Or did you mean a movie branded with the D&D license? Because those are far grimmer prospects

The D&D cartoon from the 80s is very good.I've been sitting and trying to think of a half decent movie or show that's affiliated with D&D. The closest I could come up with are the decent anime (not amazing, but decent) Record of Lodoss War and Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight. They aren't officially licensed, but they're openly based on a series of D&D campaigns in an original setting.
Any other thoughts? Books and video games don't count.

There was another D&D movie that was much better than the original one, and it had a much smaller budget (I think it went straight to DVD).
Here you go both were released direct to DVD and shown on cable.Name ?

Well, there is a Warcraft movie in the work too, it needs company at the bottom of crap movies…

Yeah, that was awesome …. or not. Hard to believe Gygax actually was involved in this show. Honestly I liked Futurama's take om D&D much better.
The script and screen play for a D&D movie would not be that hard. Follow a group of people just starting out on an adventure. For old players like me, have it based on Keep on the Borderlands or some other classic module.
Give a shout out to Gary Gygax. People need to understand that a simple plot with good story telling and acting would have the best chance to succeed. They will mess it up most likely.
I think the fantasy setting is very popular right now with LOTR and Hobbit doing so well. These execs really don't know all that much about "D&D", but figure it's an established franchise so why not try to cash in?
What they should be looking at is perhaps making the Dragonlance franchise, or something similar.
Really, though, I don't think the Hobbit is doing nearly as well as they hoped.
Dungeon Siege was so great wasn't it?
I am Elminster of Shadowdale, called by some the Old Sage, and called far worse things by others. I've walked these realms for over a thousand years. Yet, I am far from the oldest, wisest, or mightiest being to walk the ground of Faerûn with my well-worn boots—and that is truth. But if ye learn the long history of my deeds, ye'll know precisely what I stand for and what I am. And that's a rare and precious thing, knowing yourself. Do ye know exactly what ye stand for?
Have anyone seen Dragonlance Dragons Of Autumn Twilight (2008)?
