So?
I'm with Araciel on this. Also straight from the camel's mouth, so to speak... R. A. Salvatore has no control over whether or not Drizzt ever sees the big screen. As a result, him desiring to see Drizzt there has no bearing on whether or not it'll ever happen.
They made a Dragonlance movie. An incredibly poorly animated Dragonlance movie, but a Dragonlance movie nonetheless. It's a possibility, at least. Faerun is one of the most profitable campaign settings in the D&D universe, and Drizzt is one of if not the most popular characters IN the setting. If this starts stirring up fan anticipation, they might give it a shot.
Fanticipation (sorry) has been high for a Drizzt movie for at least a decade, but we all know that the fans are at least 90% fanboys, and any such film would be torn asunder both by critics and those people on the internet.
While I myself don't mind Drizzt, I'd much rather see a more general FR movie with cameos by such characters.
Don't remind me.Quote:

But, I wouldn't mind seeing a Drizzt movie, the action will definitely be top notched I would think. I would find it awesome to watch a live-action movie with a dark elf ranger slicing and dicing his way through hordes of Orcs and Demons with Icingdeath and Twinkle.
If it were to be well done, I would be exciting.
Yes. Yes, it is.Quote:

The DL movie has no real development at all, for the plot or characters. The plot moves so fast and choppy that it's borderline nonsensical even for someone who knows, in depth, the plot of the entire book. It's bad.
Rejoice! Cuz Dungeons & Dragons 2 (a B-movie) was much better than the hollywood violation. Ellie Chidzey's f'ing HOTT too.Quote:

Here's more on the movie itself:
watch tHe skies » Dungeons & Dragons 2 and the absence of fantasy films following Lord Of The Rings
Ah! The DnD movie was horrid, and I saw the DL movie in blockbuster, almost rented it. Good thing I didn't ;)
And a Drizzt movie would be extremely good...if like...Peter Jackson did it.

Luke Goss, from his role in Hellboy 2, would be PERFECT for a Drow character, but maybe he'd be more suited for Zaknafein. I know 1 person I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DO NOT WANT to play Drizzt, and that is ORLANDO "NO-ACTING-TALENT-WHATSOEVER" BLOOM!!!
That's not saying much.Quote:

Make sure you get the 3-hour version instead of the North American version which is only about 2-hours (aka Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King). I had to buy the Australian version off eBay to get it, and it includes scenes that are actually really critical to the story. The beginning will make you think of Dragonslayer from the early-80s (if you ever saw it), but after that it really starts to pick up.
For once, Kristanna Loken was an EXCELLENT choice for her character, once you get past the beginning that is. :)
OH YEAH! And for the D&D 2 movie, you get to see Drow in their movie debut. It's for only 6-seconds, and they're dead, BUT STILL! DROW!
Well I saw D&D2...Didn't like it from a basic film standpoint because it was super cheesy, but I'll agree it represents D&D cliches far better than D&D did.
Also, D&D had beholders...so...yeah.
Dude! Ive wanted to see a Drizzt movie ever since i read the books (1 & 2 to be precise) that'd be like a dream come true for me :D
At least if there was a Drizzt movie, I wouldn't have to read about all the sword fighting. Salvatore's books are just way too descriptive in that area. I think Drizzt would make a pretty horrible transition to the big screen actually.
Eh, I wouldn't see it. He was okay, but not that okay.
I love the books to death but I don't see them being good for the big screen,
Has anyone pointed out that the videos in the OP are 4 years old?
