Dungeons and Dragons reboot movie trailer (Fake)

Based on the cartoon series which was itself based on the roleplaying game.
Dungeons and Dragons is too important and venerable a license to be forever tied to a very subpar film. In 1983 there was a fairly popular cartoon show based on the game which featured an interesting story idea: five friends are whisked away to the world of dungeons and dragons (after riding a magical rollercoaster) and given roles and weapons by The Dungeon Master himself. However the original series was made for kids, and since then D&D has found a broader market. I think it would be more interesting if the kids of the film were older, and if their alter egos were adults. This could lead to an interesting tale true to the roleplaying game as younger 'players' assume the roles of larger then life heroes, matched against a sinister evil. The 'Dungeons and Dragons' movie made the mistake of setting the story completely in a lite version of the D&D world. The problem is D&D isn't just about the story, it's about the characters and roleplaying. By making the characters be people from modern times thrust into a grand adventure the story would not only delve into the history, sites, and monsters of the D&D world, but also provide the other side of the coin, the deliberations, alliances, and choices characters must make to succeed or fail in the game.

This is brilliant. What film is the 'Wizard' from. I know the second clip is HP.

I'm glad you liked it!

The wizard clips are from an independent movie called Midnight, based on the roleplaying game of the same name.

I requested this trailer over a year ago. You even used my Final Destination 3 suggestion for the roller coaster. Better late than never, my friend!

[bloodrunsclear]

Sorry about that, and sorry for responding so late too xD

I'm glad you enjoyed it if you did!

i used to watch the show when they re ran it on the saterday mourning cartoons and i dont think it would work as a movie becasue the storyline of how the character came to bein the magical world is as week as water downed alcohol

[bloodrunsclear]

Then it could only improve! The idea I liked about the series was that each weapon was a representation of the characters.

The original movie ALWAYS should have been based on the cartoon. I never understood why they didnt play that angle up. Especially since the characters in the movie could have easily been the characters from the cartoon just alittle different.

If they ever make a new D&D movie... It needs Drizzt

[Joshua Keyser]

Oh I wish!

[Sarah276602]

Its almost like the Lord of the Rings trailer.

[Sarah276602]

I like it. But the ride like the one in a 80s cartoon is a dark ride not a roller coaster. And it's was kids between 8-16 on the ride.

In the cartoon, the Paladin is called cavaliar. The problem with the cartoon is that the teens never got home and stayed home.

[eyespliced]

No. No it does not. 

[TheLizardmonkey]

Absolutely. The cartoon D&D is what they should have started with. Like a cross between Back to the Future and Jumanji with monsters!

[Joe Pickard]

very nice job!!

[supremeobliterator]

Thier are so many DMs and players out there with so many good ideas and such creativity. To bad people who made the real move lacked both.

We will probably never get a good move for D&D becouse the movie was so bad, sigh.

[Andrew Zavadin]

as cheap as it sounds, its actually a reboot i would see.
