New Dragonlance Movie?

#1 Post by dmw71 »

What Joe Manganiello's Possible Dragonlance Movie Might Contain

"It’s recently come to light that actor Joe Manganiello has been coauthoring a script for a Dungeons & Dragons movie. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he said that he’d even met with Wizards of the Coast to talk about the project. This was at first confusing news, since it’s known that a D&D film is already in the works after a prolonged legal battle pertaining to the game’s film rights.

However Manganiello soon tweeted out a picture of a script draft, indicating that the prospective movie would be an adaption of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman’s beloved Dragon’s of Autumn Twilight."

Oh wow! Absolutely love all the Dragonlance stuff, and the entire world of Krynn setting too! (Even the Kinder race! :lol: )

Read all many of the DL books bitd, well at least a goodly amount of them, as iirc there are scores of offshoot prequels and such series that spun out of the original trilogy. Hickman & Wies were a great team to be sure. I've always found their combined prose to be amicable and the reads good. Their main characters were always endearing to me and their adventures exciting to be sure!

Now if they (Hollywood) could just make an even mediocre D&D movie... :|

Yup, that's just the way we played it in high school...
:roll:
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Well, umm yeaahhhh.... that's a big negatory there, Dave! Lol

But do love the screen shot, brother! The bald bloke with blue lipstick and the "I just ate your last cookie" smirk is bad enough but the other guy??

Looks like Jeremy Irons... on a bottle of whiskey and bag of mushrooms! :mrgreen:

Or maybe it's just the difference between lich and demilich. I always wondered!
