Its simple enough. Write a script - you have talented writers who know the setting. Establish a Shareholder company that will sell shares publicly to raise the funds needed, while retaining a majority of shares and control. And when the hundred million dollar budget is raised, animate the epic tale of THE SKINSAW MURDERS, in japanese Anime style.
It worked for Lightning Jack (the western by Paul Hogan).
Seconded. Perhaps the script of the Burnt Offerings play put on by da Vinci Arts Middle school could be reworked into an animated feature, with a portion of the profits going to the school?
Thirded. I'd love to see Rise of the Runelords or Second Darkness done in this style.
in japanese Anime style.
That is the only part I disagree with.
When has this ever worked out well?
That doesn't mean we can't hope for it anyways. :p
I think the adventuring party thing translates party into a series. But really, you could always just watch Slayers.
Perhaps by Dreamworks in the Style of that Road to Eldorado Animated film...That is the only part I disagree with.in japanese Anime style.
That could work...heck I would not mind the japanese anime style...just not my 1st choice.

I personally think they should do it Final Fantasy style. Even though it is another example of game to movie crap. They need to follow one rule when making these movies.
1. Don't be stupid with stereotypes. the drunk dwarf in the D&D movie... seriously why did he follow the group and help them?
2. No Wayan brothers.
3. Use a proven successful story. why make up a generic setting with an even duller story. Get the LOTR crew working on Dragonlance and bamn, instant hit.

It was so obvious that the folks who did/write/produce the D&D movie didn't hava a clue what D&D was. They openned up the player's handbook, and got a few classes from that. Then they openned up the Monster Manual and (quite randomly) chose a few monsters that sort of looked cool. I mean c'mon; Using beholders as guard dogs? And add a Wayan to make it funny. Ugh!
Sadly, that's mostly how thay make movies now. :(

Actually, the director of the first D&D movie has played D&D since first edition. In interviews, he has stated that they wanted to make the movie more "accessable" to non-gamers; in other words, more generic. The second movie was a lot more in line with actual D&D, going so far as to include the god Obad-Hai, a reference to Jubilex, and various magic items that exist in-game. Sadly, it suffered from having a small budget and a somewhat bland story.
After the movie, a "Neverwinter Night" style video game series in Golarion using the Pathfinder please!. Maybe, adoption of the APs? One could hope, Golarion and PF on demand!

Yeah, in that he succeeded quite well, this movie was as generic as you can get, which probably was the reason that it's success was non existant.
While I would like to see a good Pathfinder style D&D movie, I don't particulary care for a series because usually the budget on them is so low that you can't do a lot of what makes D&D D&D.
