what should be the next big fantasy movie or show?

[Elder the Dwarf]

Waylander would be excellent I think, although the Joinings could get a little silly if the FX were over the top. Clive Owen would perhaps make a good lead - loved him for the few seconds he was in the first Bourne movie - and he'd be about the right age.

I actually think Legend would be much easier to do well, though I would love a Waylander movie. Not a huge Clive Owen fan, but I did enjoy King Arthur. I think Christian Bale would actually make a pretty good Waylander. Sean Bean would be good if he weren't already in so many fantasy movies/series already. He is also probably too thick for the character. This casting thing is kinda fun though.

Edit: On another forum I just saw, they suggested Brian Blessed or John Rhys Davies as Druss. Either would work for me. People would probably complain about Gimli, but if you take away that beard, it would be tough for most people to recognize him.

Not fantasy, but there's a Harlan Ellison penned I, Robot script that I'd love to see made into a film.

That said, movies and books are completely different medium. Give them their magisteria, so to speak.

Too bad they didn't go with that instead of making the crappy Fresh Prince version.

The original Dragonlance Chronicles would be cool... not because the writing was that great, but because it still holds a lot of sentimental value for me. It was the first fantasy series I ever read, even before The Hobbit. It would be interesting to see what TNT or AMC could do with it...

Same, and honestly, using the same characters and plot line, Dragonlance has all the components to be amazing in my opinion...the books themselves are just a little outdated now. I tried doing a re-read about a year ago...only got through the first two...but MAN, in jr. high, those were the books that got me absolutely hooked on all things epic. /Salute Weiss and Hickman!

R.A Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt! I would LOVE to see it done well but I would be horrified if it went wrong. Those are the books my dad pasted down to me that made me fall in love with fantasy. It also helped me find my closest friend who had the same interest.

Based off of failed movie attempts I’ve seen (Eragon) I sometimes think it’s not worth the mental trauma on our part for a book to be made in to a bad movie. On the other hand I think Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were great on screen and in the book. I also have high hopes for The Hobbit.

If they made an Elder Scrolls movie it would have to be about a prisoner!
