Krynn on the Big Screen
Sunday, July 16th, 2006Just found out about an animated Dragonlance: The Movie:
http://www.dragonlance-movie.com/
The title from IMDB is Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, which may mean this is the first of a trilogy (Autumn Twilight is the first book of the Chronicles).
Apparently, Kiefer Sutherland is voicing Raistlin. Hmm. I’m having some trouble wrapping my mind around the idea of Jack Bauer=Raistlin Majere. Don’t they need someone darker, more emo?
Other stars:
Lucy Lawless - Goldmoon (a bit of a peripheral character in the novels, so I don’t know how big a role she plays in the movie).
Michael Rosenbaum (Lex from Smallville) - Tanis Half-Elven (I’d have thought Sutherland would be a better fit for Tanis, but what do I know…)
Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn from Buffy) - Tika (again, another peripheral character, although this one looks like a better fit)
Dragonlance isn’t anywhere near LOTR of course, but it’s still part of ’80s nostalgia, especially for those of us who played the original 1st Ed AD&D modules. It’s a geek thing.
