Dragonlance movie

[yendi]

As noted by hangingfire, there's a Dragonlance movie in the works (current tagline: It Can't Blow as Much as Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie did).

This page has a list of the voice talent, including Dee Bradley Baker, Rino Romano, Jason Marsden, Phil Lamarr, and Michael Rosenbaum. They've also secured a decent group of less-traditional voice talent, including Lucy Lawless, Kiefer Sutherland, and Michelle Trachtenberg (and only Trachtenberg doesn't have decent voice-acting experience going into the project). It's directed by Will Meugniot (whose artwork on DNAgents was a favorite of mine growing up), and written by George Strayton, who wrote for the various Sam Raimi/Rob Tapert tv shows. In other words, it has at least some potential.

Dragonlance the game sucked more than D&D, so I'm hoping there is an inverse relationship at work for the movie.

Trachtenburg has been getting voice over experience lately. I think I've seen her in several cartoons and episodes of robot chicken.

Hey, have you ever read John Clute? I have a copy of 'Appleseed' that I'm tempted to read but it looks a little heady, and I was wondering if you had an opinion of him.

The only things of his that I've read are the Encyclopedias of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, not any of his fiction. I know Appleseed got decent reviews, but I haven't really glanced at it myself.
