TheMopeSquad posted:As much as I love Michelle Rodriguez it is a little tiresome that she's always typecast so it would have been nice if she *was* a druid. Then again it would just end up being an angry glowering monosybellic druid not a happy smiling tree hugging one. She's actually very bubbly and smiley in all the interviews, she could absolutely play something beyond tough gal.

Chris Pine is "pretty confident" that Dungeons & Dragons 2 will happen – and he wants to returnquote:"I've heard some rumors about it," he tells us of a potential follow-up. "But I don't know anything yet. But I feel pretty confident that it may happen." When we ask if he'd be happy to return, Pine responds: "Absolutely."

I would love a second movie especially if they stuck with as many practical effects and puppetry and was in the first movie. Felt like kind of a breath of fresh air to get a Mummy styled comedy action movie with the humor too so hope they don’t move more towards MCU style quips. The few they had worked well I think.

Yeah, I don't care if the budget's less, as long as they get the writers/director's back, and a bunch of actors who can do the material I'm down. Still a real shame the first one didn't do better, really deserved to. Have their been any numbers out on how it did on streaming? It definitely the type of film that I could of seen doing great on on VHS back in the day. Just really nailed the sunday afternoon movie vibe.

It should 100% get a sequel but after Barbie crossed the $1B Worldwide Gross mark, I don't think Hasbro will consider any offer unless they have a guarantee it'll beat Mattel and D&D doesn't have that reach.

Yeah, see if they think the same thing after their first five new movies immediately flop. Mattel's will two. I really doubt neither of them will learn the right thing from Barbie (hire talented creatives to work on your properties).

That only makes sense if you're assuming that Hasbro is looking at it in a "this movie is here to make money for us!" sense. A lot of what I've seen suggest that Hasbro's take is a lot more along the lines of "this is a giant commercial for the D&D product line, any money it makes is incidental".

In which case it could come down to, how much is Hasbro willing to chip in, basically under marketing, to see another movie happen? As they still have a tv show, I'm pretty sure, that is in the works, I can't imagine they will be looking at is there any possibility we could try and make another movie, until the shows done. Hasbro may really want a D&D cinematic universe to happen, but they don't have infinite money, and while Barbie may sort of skew what they think might be possible to financially get from D&D, it was both critically and audience acclaimed, and a minor flop, which could have them think, "hey maybe even if we make another great movie, there's just a roof on this thing, which we can't really get above with it.

They seem to have basically fired anyone senior enough to have a high salary and also everyone in the art department. They also posted job listing for artists specialized in doing retouching. The assumption is that since art is thr biggest expense for new publications, they want to move to AI art, just hiring people to retouch the hands and other "tells" so the audience doesn't know. But yeah the top execs seem to be genuine morons consistently stabbing themselves in the dick.

To be honest I’m pretty sure you could AI the poo poo out of D&D art. No one’s turning to the franchise looking for radical innovation anyway.

Barbie 2 is just her telling the MBA dickheads in the boardroom to choke on their golden parachutes and then kicking them out a window making them do just that. She rolls a D20 for brand cinematic universe synergy which people find forced still makes another billion

They already got caught out using AI-generated art for a D&D source book a few months ago and pulled the standard dodge "this was the work of a single artist who did it without our knowledge, we'll enact measures to make sure it doesn't happen again"

AI art is a plague that will doom humanity to lifeless slavery to corporate overlords. Unrelated, I'd love a D&D movie sequel.

There's been some extremely hosed up stuff going on with AI/deepfake tech already (school students making deepfake porn of their classmates, police using AI tech to "identify" criminals but arresting completely innocent people, Amazon being swamped with weird books generated via ChatGPT, etc) which I've posted about in this CSPAM thread if people are really curious about how bad this poo poo is going to get

Snowglobe of Doom posted:pulled the standard dodge "this was the work of a single artist who did it without our knowledge" It is probably true. The artist had collaborated with them in the past, before the whole AI thing, and recently started to use AI art to complete their work independently from this WotC commission. They just like the aesthetic effect. YggdrasilTM fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Dec 22, 2023 |

A great deal of D&D's success over the years is due to excellent art. I bet Larry Elmore's iconic cover art drove a lot of the B/X and BECMI boxed set sales. His work was definitely an innovation within the RPG industry based on how many other publishers would come to hire him to paint their cover art. Settings like Dark Sun and Planescape are beloved in part because of the distinct and evocative work of people like Brom and DiTerlizzi. And arguably, the way we visualize dragons as almost feline creatures in a lot of modern fantasy owes itself to the work of artists like Wayne Reynolds.

I'd heard good things about this, but didn't expect it to be so genuinely clever on top of just being a fun fantasy romp. Fat dragon, slow motion potato, wonderful heist scene, balloon of wealth. Was expecting something more akin to a decent Marvel movie, got something wonderful. Really loved how dorky they dressed the alternative adventuring parties in the labyrinth - felt like a nod to cheap larping but done with affection. Franchise the poo poo out of this, I'll be there to watch the next one so long as the same people make it. CatstropheWaitress fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jan 23, 2024 |

Hahaha, wonderful. Love it. Happy to hear they're looking into a sequel but hope a budget slash won't hurt the quality. CGI doesn't make a movie, but how well detailed all the sets were really stuck out. And it was done well enough that at no point did I feel like I was watching The Hobbit barrels, even though most of the image was computer made (thinking fat dragon scene here). And the changeling escape was brilliant, thanks in part to the quality of the effects. CatstropheWaitress fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jan 23, 2024 |

I really do hope another gets made. This was such a fun, breezy movie. I think it had just the perfect tone for this type of romp. The casting was just ideal.
