Dragonlance movie???

[drizzt]

I don't know if this is the right forum/topic but I just read this and wanted to tell you all:

Margaret Weis author of the Dragonlance novels, has posted confirmation on the Dragonlance forums that the animated movie is indeed in the works:

Dear Friends,
"I really wanted to wait until we could make the WAHOO Big Announcement on

the dragonlance movie site (which is coming any day now, so keep watch!). But since Lucy Lawless gave us away, I'll let you know what's going on. Paramount Studios is making Dragons of Autumn Twilight as a full-length, adult, animated movie. I'll let the movie site provide you with details on the director, screen play writer, animation house, and all that.

Suffice it to say, Tracy and I have been working with the production team for over a year now. They've been wonderful to work with! They've allowed us to have script approval and asked for our suggestions. They've shown us all the art work and allowed us approval on that (as well as the WoTC art director in charge of Dragonlance). We've been working with the Whitestone Council people on this as well. (Thanks, guys!)

From what I've seen, it's going to be amazing! The art is great. Hopefully some of it will be up on the movie site. And Tracy and I will be talking more about the movie and maybe bringing along some art pieces on our book tour.

Tracy and I are both very excited about this!"

Wow look forward to seeing this develop, I loved the Dragons of Autumn Twighlight book in fact the whole series was brilliant. If it is as good as it sounds it will be bloody fantastic.

Thanks for the link I have bookmarked the site for a good look around later.

I like the fact that it says "adult" animation. Much more palatable. My gosh, comic books and graphic novels have catered to the adult audiences for years, but an animated show ususally gets relgated to TMNT status...

Its kinda funny that you mention this because I just finished the third book of the chronicles trilogy and my brother and I were talking about how cool it would be to see our favorite characters on screen. I cant wait to see Tasslehoff Burrfoot come to life, whirling his hoopak at the Draconians. Okay, so I kinda got carried away there but thanks for the information and the link.

Just looked at the site and OMG the cast looks amazing.
