This guy has been desperately trying for a long time to get a good dnd movie done.
Can he do it? The dnd title is still pretty toxic for movies right now, so the producers might be hesitant, and then there's the question if they can do a decent movie anyway if the do get the money.
Time will tell

Get him, Vin Diesel, and, most importantly (based on a few other films Diesel has had control over), a director with the clout and the stones to tell them "no" and there might be something possible

>there will never be a game consisting of Joe Manganiello, Vin Diesel and Travis Willingham.
I just want my Chad Squad, anons!
Don't forget Sam Witwer.
Great. Now I'm gay. You need to warn people before you post pics of a guy so fucking hot I just want to eat sushi off his chest and abs and then suck his cock for afters.

Sad.
What the fuck is this thread.
Congratz you are gay for photoshop
I'm up for his DnD film so long as it isn't a fucking book adaptation. Fuck the licensed novels, they all suck.
Make it like a heist film, Oceans 11. One guy has to put together a rag tag team of adventurers with different specialties, to crack the dungeon that holds some kind of powerful artifact or whatever, having to deal with what lives in the dungeon, and a rival band of 'evil' adventurers.
Something simple like that.
>photoshop
No, he's 100% real. You need to watch the Magic Mike movies.

Damn. Has that, has Sofia, he's officially made it, boys.
Okay, now I'm jelly.
Imagine thrashing a noob at 40k and them going back home to give Vergara a victory pounding
>What the fuck is this thread.
Basically the thing in OP's post happened a month ago and OP has been making threads about it ever since.
Why such a pleb game though. He should play WoD or some other game for patricians.
> D&D is pleb
I wish this meme would die. It's a fun game to play with your friends.
Also all the good stuff in WoD is overshadowed by the cancer writers and fanbase.
Damn. Her idea of "bringing them snacks" is practically giving them a well presented buffet table. Some guys have it all
Having worked with a ton of Latinas for five or so years in SoCal, it's literally against the LatinoLaw to not feed motherfuckers who show up at your house. You offer food, drink, and hospitality. Always. Now, who's actually allowed to show up there in the first place is another story, but if you're on the list, you're treated like royalty with the expectation that you'll reciprocate. Latinas love playing housewife even if they aren't a traditional housewife "slippers in the kitchen" sort of girl. It's just their culture. Nice people, overall. Can take a while to get them to like you if you're not Latino, but it's worth it.
Also, we discovered the best Latina joke: What's the best way to get a Latina to gain 50lbs? Put a ring on her finger.
DnD may be fun if you are looking for a casual game, but it is still pleb-tier. Like Halo and CoD is pleb-tier in gaming.
All FPSs are pleb-tier. Twitch combat is infant-grade. It's fun, but the only skill is reflex, and it doesn't call for intelligence or planning/strategy. If you can shoot the other guy faster, you'll always win. That's why FPSs like PubG are better than shit like CoD. It adds other elements to the game to make it more involved.
Ever heard of ARMA or Operation: Flashpoint? They're as close to simulators as can be while still being fun, and lone wolfing will get you killed pretty quick.
We need to identify various grades of pleb-tier. Some FPS's are more plebian than others. CoD is of course more plebian than, say, Rising Storm.
Naturally true patricians only play the most patrician games, like hardcore RPG's, strategy games in all forms, and especially evolved FPS's like the ARMA-series.
>We need to identify various grades of pleb-tier
No we don't, because then it would be based purely on personal bias, and it's a dumb venture.
Damn man. It's like looking at a feast you know you'll never partake in.
My perfect DnD movie would be a meta setting with the actors playing the game then switching over into the game where the actors are playing their characters. Sorta like the Gamers except with actual talent.
Hardly, it is a fact that Halo is more accessible and needs less involvement and cognitive effort than say ARMA. Therefore it is more plebian, no bias involved, just the meaning of the word.
>O_O that jacked and 6'5"
>just the meaning of the word.
You're an idiot. No, it's not bias, just the meaning of the word.
>My perfect DnD movie would be a meta setting with the actors playing the game then switching over into the game where the actors are playing their characters. Sorta like the Gamers except with actual talent.
Not a bad idea, but would be hard to pull off well. I think you could one-up the fantasy factor by having the nerds playing IRL, then have the calamity from their campaign become real, BUT instead of them being the heroes, it's their characters that also become manifested to fight the evil. Of course the nerds contribute, but it's mostly about the characters. And no, the one nerd's waifu character doesn't fall for him. She snubs his ass in a really funny scene. The heroes vanish when the threat is defeated, and of course nobody believes the nerds afterwards.
...
Sounds like a comedy. Do we really need another D&D comedy?
What a wyrd cat.
Nah, my idea is an action movie with comedy elements. Going full funnymode is a mistake. But all good action movies have funny situations and one-liners and stuff tossed into the mix. Going overboard is bad though.
We can't have a D&D movie that's basically just a fantasy movie because why bother strapping the name to it? At this point a movie having D&D attached to it is an uphill climb marketing-wise, given its cinematic reputation.
Think back to the old Masters of the Universe movie with Dolph Lundgren. That was a fun movie, even if it had nothing to do with He-Man. A movie like that but redone for D&D would be great.
I want to fuck Sofia Vergara
Get in line

If this isn't my life, why am I still living it? I should just end it now.
Good luck. The studio would be incapable of seeing it as anything but a comedy and it would never get made. A full fledged in-universe action movie, to capitalize on GoT and even LotR fame would be something they could go for.
>guy has hot awesome wife that supports his gaming hobby
>user doesnt have that so is jealous
>w-well dnd is pleb-tier, and at least i'm not a pleb!
I know you're right, but Hollywood knowing good movies anymore is an oxymoron. And when did all the good directors and producers go to shit? We can't blame it all on the execs. Hell even Spielberg is crap now. He just sits there and has people pay him to strap his name to things for prestige.
Hm, I must presume that you are a pleb from your levels of triggeredness.
I do have an awesome wife, but... she indeed does not support my gaming hobby.
But at least I am not a pleb.
So by your logic, Pathfinder is about as patrician as it gets, since it takes so much effort and thought to understand character optimization
Just the meaning of the word, bro :^)
I'll believe that when I see it. Something that takes 'so much effort' for a DnD-player is something that a player of patrician systems probably could breeze through in 10-15 minutes.
she clearly loves him only because he plays D&D
>Why such a pleb game though. He should play WoD or some other game for patricians.
I guess he's happy with his life and doesn't need Angst Overdrive: The RPG? Might want to touch up your mascara, sweetheart, you're looking a little.... green.
>Also all the good stuff in WoD is overshadowed by the cancer writers and fanbase.
The writers in general are pretty good. The fans in general are pretty good. Please don't confuse the pig excrement in /wodg/ with the human beings out there in the real world.
t. long time /wodg/ poster
Yeah! At least I'm not a highly paid actor with an awesome home in SoCal and a stomach you could wash laundry on, who probably got to fuck Anna Paquin, one of the hottest women in America sucking my cock daily, a 2 metre tall wine fridge, weekly buffets and six hour gaming sessions with thousands of dollars worth of gaming accessories and well-balanced, stable friends I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with in public! HA! I look at you and I, Manganiello, and I wonder; which of us is the rich man? You? You with your amazing body, massive penis, millions of dollars in the bank, powerful friends, living the high life, good food, beautiful women, getting invited to Emmy afterparties? Or ME, with.... with... what I've got.
It's you, isn't it, Manganiello?
I probably should have thought about that more. BRB, just need to overdose.
You can't have read it before, I hadn't posted it before. Fucking psycho....
>RPG
>not the lowest form of gaming and "simulation" ever
Hahahahahaha.
Real word doesn't work on stats and chance. That's why I love Souls combat, if you're shit, you get punished, while still maintaining a stats element.
The writing WAS pretty good until SJW-edition, that is nWoD 2e.
How does any of that change that DnD is a pleb game?

Yeah, this is totally a parody page and not real.

Guess you got two scoops of butthurt drumpfy
How dare you.
I think the key is to NOT call it a DnD movie. Get all the usual things you need for a good fantasy movie (director, actors, decent budget etc etc) and then place it in one of the settings which doesn't have much of a continuous storyline (my choice would be Eberron). Specifically keep all mention of DnD out of the marketing, then reveal it afterwards if the movie is a success and that would move towards clearing the brand of its toxic name.
I agree. I think I read in another article he wants to do it based on forgotten realms. That would be a cool title for a movie. Don't even do "Forgotten Realms: A D&D Movie"
A title like "Action movie title: A Forgotten Realms Movie" would be better.
>Real word doesn't work on stats and chance
>
Yeah, there's literally no reason to call something a "D&D movie." D&D isn't a plot, or a setting, or even a particular aesthetic - it's a system of abstraction.
An Eberron movie would be tight. Spelljammer would be sick as heck. Shit, I'd even watch a Drizzt movie.
A heist film with the bank/casino replaced by a dungeon would be pretty awesome.
I dunno user, the last Dragon Lance movie didn't do so well... (it was also terrible)
Her voice is cute.
>all that money put into the place
>can't give the players armrests
Priorities.
I always liked the tag: Dungeons and Dragons Presents: Action Movie Title
The actor Sam Witwer legitimately plays/likes "geeky" stuff
He's the only genuine Veeky Forums chad I know of
>My perfect DnD movie would be a meta setting with the actors playing the game then switching over into the game where the actors are playing their characters. Sorta like the Gamers except with actual talent.
I think the best way to do this is play it straight, without any supernatural shit happening in real life. However, real life DOES have drama, and it spills over into the epic adventure happening in-game; with a climax scene in which two players/characters reconciliate/become friends/fall in love/whatever both in- and out-of-character. I'm thinking of the climax of the Lego Movie, where the conversation shifts between the fictional world and the real one in a way that enhances the pathos and allows for a deeper/more serious talk that would be hard to portray in a movie otherwise.
>He's the only genuine Veeky Forums chad I know of
What, Vin Diesel doesn't count as a chad?
Just putting the phrase "Dungeons and Dragons" on your poster makes millions of people assume it's not for them. Sad but true.
>So anons....I hear you think Force Awakens wasn't the greatest film of all time?
>Just putting the phrase "Dungeons and Dragons" on your poster makes millions of people assume it's not for them. Sad but true.
Not true. We live in a post-Stranger Things world. D&D is slowly becoming mainstream.
hollywoodreporter.com
Vin Diesel wrote a foreword to a D&D book. You don't really get any more legit short of developing games yourself.
Wait a second. Wait a GODDAMN second.
Regardless, people are still going to have assumptions about Dungeons & Dragons. They may not judge those who play, but they might still think "hmm, maybe that's not for me." And there are definitely those who will think "pfft, fucking nerd shit," because it's not 100% accepted in society.
So you lose some viewers. The question becomes: do you GAIN any? Do you gain enough to counteract the loss?
I would argue that no, for two reasons:
1. Nerds would watch that shit whether or not "Dungeons & Dragons" is officially part of the title.
2. If you care at all about the international market, anti-nerd-shit sentiments are MUCH higher.
Call it "Eberron" instead.
Yes Dungeon's and Dragons is more mainstream, and looked upon with some level of admiration even, but because of the series of D&D movies, nobody is going to accept it as possibly being anything good outside of a satirical comedy.
>We can't blame it all on the execs.
We can.
Executives in the past actually did their job and made sure the shareholders got their money back and everyone involved got a lion's share. That's how fucking Titanic made so much money.
Executives now use accounting tricks to not repay stockholders (every movie flops, even Harry Potter didn't "make money") bankrupt studios and promote mergers.
The virgin sports player vs the Chad RPG player
If you're insinuating exces push for bad movies on purpose to bandy money about well... okay then yeah I guess you can blame them for all the bad movies then. I still feel like a lot of writers and directors have dropped the ball though, and in ways you can't really blame the execs for.
So like this?
Nah, because Max Bialystock was charismatic.
The man who has it all.
If you're not jelly, you're lying.
Manganiello only plays wizards.
Fucking preps counterspell all the time, too.
>If you're insinuating exces push for bad movies on purpose
Sup, work filmfag here. They do, but not for the reasons here.
Film production is the best way to hide or mitigate other losses, particularly cash losses.
If an exec racks up a particularly high casino tab, for example, he'll greenlight something like Monster Trucks and then charge the tab against film production. The film's going to tank anyway, so nobody cares.
Film production is basically the only business that's still straight up gangster in accounting and the SEC doesn't oversee it, so nobody really gives a fuck.
>that dungeon master chair
I envy his group. That's a top class setup.
>If you care at all about the international market, anti-nerd-shit sentiments are MUCH higher.
wut... isn't it the opposite?
the most recent d&d-ish fantasy movies were saved / haven't been total failures because of foreign audiences.
Seventh Son - $95m budget, $17.2m domestic, $96.9m foreign
Last Witch Hunter - $90m budget, $27.3m domestic, $119.5m foreign
Warcraft - $160m budget, $47.3m domestic, $386.3m foreign
The Great Wall - $150m budget, $45.1m domestic, $286.8m foreign
Interesting. I still would like to see the stats for something with the label "Dungeons & Dragons" stuck on it.
Also, while the foreign figures are higher than the domestic figures, you should still realize that the $ per capita is still probably lower. There's a lot more foreign people than domestic people. But this also depends on where things release, so I'm not going to push it as an argument because I'm not knowledgeable enough.
Gotcha. Interesting info. I mean I'm not really surprised at all, but it's fun to hear anyway.
Great Wall hardly counts because that movie was made for China and the Chinese market. The money it made over here was the gravy, not the other way around.
