has a ravenloft movie ever been seriously consdiered by the main series writers or copywrite owners. Obviously I think there is a lot of potential there for a live action setting. Perhaps one featuring strahd, but maybe not. I think that it would have to be a standalone story that also introduces people to the entire world but has a self-contained plot. Perhaps this would be best suited by a new original story (novel or screenplay) Does anyone think that there is an existing story that would work for this? Anyways with the poularity of horror movies these days, I think a good script could bait the right people into making this. (I think it would definately have to be one stand alone movie title simply "Ravenloft" and not some sort of epic series with all the characters you are mentioning)

An interesting idea, but not at all likely. There are just too many things going against it.

I know a few details, but honestly there just isn't much to say about a show that was never produced.

Johnny Depp was mentioned a little while back on this thread to play Malocchio Aderre. But given the GC is his father, we could age him and make him both ;)

Also, as for the tv series idea, if I rememebr right, toward the beginning of this site a group of people were working on scripts for a pilot to a tv show, though I never heard back from them after a little while.

I'm not sure if Sharon Osbourne is really any sort of actress, but she'd be darn funny as one of the Sisters Mindefisk. She has a great laugh for the role.

Can we add a secret fourth sister and throw Barbara Striesland into the mix as well?

No wait, she's to hideous for that, perhaps Styrix instead :twisted:

Quite famous.

One should see the film: "The little devil". Benini plays a clueless devil who has fallen into the hands of somewhat libertine Catholic priest. Benini's wife is a devil who is not clueless and who is sent to recover him.

Egads! You're right! Look at the ears, man! The ears! :o
Home is behind,
The world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread,
Through shadow,
To the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.

Mist and shadow,
Cloud and shade,
Hope shall fail,
All shall fade.

I have been trying to find a suitable person to play Gennifer and Laurie, but I can''t really find anyone. I have seen the post on this thread, but can't really agree with Estella Warren as the twins. I honestly couldn't place an actress to them. Any thoughts?
