We need to get all DragonLance Fans together to petition someone to make live action movies after the dragonlance chronicles. Live action like LOTR or Harry Potter.Have Peter Jackson direct it!!! He did an awsome job with the LOTR Movies. Or maybe the person(s) who did Eragon.....Sephera was a kool looking dragon! Demi Moore to play Kitiara,Viggo Mortensen to play Tanis, Orlando Bloom to play Gilthanis, maybe Christian Bale to play Sturm or Caramon/Raistlin and why not give one of the "little people" the job of playing Tasslehoff? By little people I mean a midget actor.And the guy who played Gimley in LOTR would be good for the character of Flint. I thought the cartoon was alright but I think a live action movie would be so much better and would portray the story so much better. I, as a fan of the Dragonlance books, would definately go to the theatre to watch it and I would also buy the DVD's when they came out. What do you guys and girls think about a Live Action Film? |

if they were able to make it right id say have Chris evens who does captain America. he is a really good actor and In my mind he would be perfect for a role if they did a live action movie on this. |

Disagree. Peter Jackson is highly overrated, and his work on the LOTR films were mediocre at best. Yes they were decent, but they could have been so much better.

Holloywood has turned into a giant power of Moviemaking that has gotten too full of Itself and expects the public to take crappy movies that are too high-budgeted and are always full of actors with big names and big bucks most of witch are not even good actors anymore. sure some movies like Braveheart, Kingdom of Heaven, and The Dark Knight are really good, but movies like that are getting fewer and fewer. its horrible to admit but there may never be a decent Holloywood film ever again until they get there crap together.
if that ever happens.

It would be nice to see Ridley Scott doing the DL movies if they are ever made, his work in Legend is nearly impeccable. |

Fact of the matter is, when they made DoAT (especially the way they made it), they've blown a lot of expectations, not to mention the huge let down to fans they have/had because a lot of people were looking forward to this being a "live" movie not a squiggle and slap job like they've done.
Their first mistake was doing the first of the chronicles. Other than the huge cut outs of important scenes, wrecking the resolute personalities we've experienced through the books and just - in general - scenery, they've not really left themselves open to making a follow on better than the first.
If they were to do DoWN based on the same method they did DoAT they would completely lose fan interest in following movies they brought out. Unless they do this asa trial and failure method like LOTR first did. The failed attempt of drawing animation over live people, which then - years down the track, brought about the movies (even with those cuts in it. ie. The brigands raiding the shire, etc.)
Another mistake they made was that they dumped the story 1/2 way through. Non-DL people would know nothing about the characters, who they are or how they fit into the world. It's like reading a story from the middle and then to the end not understanding the foundation.
What they _really_ should have done is start from the Meeting Sextant - Kindred Spirits, Wanderlust, Steel and Stone, etc etc, not at the oncoming war. That completely disassociated characters from the viewers, and the story. but then again, Dragonlance is notorious from jumping back and forth across the timelines. Meetings sextant didn't come out till after the Chronicles, Legend of Huma came out after the Twin series, The Cataclysm and most catalsysmic events came out after a few other standard world at the time (war of the lance) and so forth.
Also, doing a follow on movie in the same crap would blow yet another budget and they'd lose profit because no one would want to purchase them due to their previous blunder.
Maybe they'll get it right next time by making it a live action movie, NOT get some oblivious idiot director who know's nothing about fantasy or read the books, and not blow it on big name actors (who probably cost most of the budget) just to draw in an audience.
Authenticity and accuracy from a book to a movie what what makes it, not the slap dash touch ups people throw in to ruin it.
My final note is that I'll still enjoy the book series that I've got every book of, but until they get a live action movie and one that's done right, then I won't bother purchasing anything visual from the company. |

Sirch makes a very good point. They should have started with somthing smaller like that instead.
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it does it still make a sound? |

I believe that they set themselves up for failure by making the animated movies out of the Chronicles. Fans of the series weren't going to be easy to please.
They should have gone ahead and made a Legend of Huma or another one like that. Dragonlance fans still probably would have bought the movie, it would have been easier to make and expectations wouldn't have been so ridiculous.

I think that the cartoons made enough for them to consider making a second one. And I will probably be dumb enough to buy it too.

Maybe if they make enough money from the cartoons.
