Dragonlance - Dragons of Autumn Twilight

[MdKnightR]

Has anyone heard about this project? Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight I can't believe they are finally making a movie of this! There isn't much information on it and I discovered it quite by accident when I looked up Michael Rosenbaum's (Smallville's Lex) entry. I just hope it isn't going to be in Anime.

The authors of the first two trilogies are listed as creative consultants, so maybe it won't suck. Man, I haven't read Dragonlance in 15 years.

Looks like they have some concept art you can view. Someone posted it in the comments on IMDB.

Thanks for the link, Bob Lion54!

Wow. I actually re-read this a couple months ago.

 

I wonder if this will actually see the light...

Can't wait! The DragonLance Chronicles was one of the things that helped me through a deep funk I experienced back in the 80's.

My understanding is that the universe has gotten a little out of hand over the past few years...

[MdKnightR]

^^^Quite the understatement, Prime! It got so out of hand that Weiss and Hickman felt compelled to write a new trilogy to right the wrongs, but it didn't help much.

[Prime]

Why do you say that (I've only really read the first trilogy and a smattering of other books)?

[MdKnightR]

The Chronicles and the Legends (also known as Twins) trilogies are the only books that really mean much to me. I have not read much of the extended universe books. Margaret Weiss wrote a book about Raistlin's younger days called the Soulforge that was really interesting. My understanding is that the writers of the add-on books that were inspired by the original stories went way off base as far as the original authors vision is concerned. They came back with a 4th installment to the Chronicles called the Dragons of Summer Flame and later with the War of Souls trilogy. Both were interesting reads, but the War of Souls brought Tasselhoff Burrfoot "back to life" and did some other things that, for me, threw things further off balance.
