I would like to get a story about Arilyn and Danilo too... Could be fun.
I'd enjoy either such movie. |

| As others have said, I'd prefer new characters and a new storyline. It'd be much better to create a whole new story built around a two-hour movie then it would be to take a novel, translate it to film, and then start hacking off bits to fit the films time allotment and budget. |

I have always found the Seven Sisters to be repetitive and dull. An Airlyn movie would be fun though. |

Amen to that. Unfortunately, as things stand, the only FR material that might catch a filmmaker's eye would be the Drizzt novels. |

| New characters would be excellent as well. Though I would think a movie would prefer the Drizzt gang if they were goning to do a movie |

Yes, maybe.. With them there is not a lot of magic, so the special effect thing would be not a real probleme with them. Also a lot of action.
But for that movies, I stay with my idea that taking new faces would be the best. Cost less, a good point, but the better, in my opinion, would be that if we take stars, they already are associate to their previous movie. Taking "nobodies" would create the opportunity to associate the character. Even more realisme... |

| I think the same way as my sister in on that. And Drizzt is at some point, with Elminster, a copyright of Forgotten Realms, A mascote. They are realy known and they make good publicities for the realms... |
Destiny is as great as our choice.

I was actually thinking about how Drizzt's books are easily the best selling of any FR books. |

| i think if they did a drizzt movie or an underdark one they would need to show how the elf's were banished to the underdark which changed there form and attitudes to others then they could move onto the wars of the houses and maybe a few fight scenes with monsters customary to the underdark theres so much they could do realy and it wouldnt have to center around drizzt alone but having a drizzt character appearing here and there would improve sales dramatically expesially if they used one of the many fight scenes between drizzt and artemis graphically speaking it would be relitivly easy to do especially those globes of darkness just a sphere collored or made slightly transperent |
