There's no way they could do a movie on BG 1 or 2. They'd botch it up so bad. I'm telling you they'd ruin it!

Yup, it's be terrible if they tryed to take the games story..
Anyway the rights to make a DnD movie are out there somwhere, but BG probbaly not.. Yea they could make a bhaalspawn story, but not along the lines of the eliments of the game..

As for the choice of medium to make a BG-Trilogy, it can be live-action, on the scale of LotR. ![]() |

If they did a Baldur’s Gate movie they would destroy the story.
Just think of the Dungeon’s and Dragon’s movie Or worse the Baldur’s Gate novelizations. *shudders*

The BG novels were written by Philip Athans, one of the head honchos at WotC/TSR, if that explains anything. ^_^ (Athans didn't write the ToB novel. It's better--not by much--but is still the best out of the three, IMO.) Maybe a movie could be done if it didn't adhere to the game plot. Imagine Six of Spades' adventures set to film. :evil: Yes, radioactive breakfast food. Good thing it's only 300 posts instead of 500. (I made the image at the same time as the other one, ~6 months ago, and I don't feel like changing it. [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

I think live action could be good, myself. With a good director, good writers, and a good cast, anything can be good.
Now you've recovered from that [img]smile.gif[/img] , actors: Imoen: Sarah Michelle Gellar Jan: Danny Devito Haer'Dalis: Tom Baker Korgan: Billy Bob Thornton Aerie: Melissa Joan Hart Viconia: Halle Berry |

Hm... That's a recurring theme in movie discussions. The PC. Why's the PC always have to be a male fighter Ahnold-type? What if we made the PC a mage, or a thief, or female...
I realized just now that if we were doing live-action and could have anyone we wanted, I think Jennifer Garner would do an excellent job as Imoen. And forgive me for being such a fan, but I think a powerful actress like Lena Olin should have a role... Viconia? Jahiera? I'm unsure... She could do either. I've yet to have a suggestion for Irenicus that's satisfied me, though...
