What I would do with a live action Pokemon movie is have an alien space ship carrying thousands upon thousands of creatures captured in pokeballs, basically your pokemon as in the game. A single pokemon got free, rounded up several other pokeballs and eject them in an escape pod toward Earth as the ship passes through our system. Due to an accident, the pokeballs are scattered across the world, discovered by various people. After a couple of years of being on Earth, you have a few scientists and some corporations competing for collecting data on all the pokemon discovered and the alien technology accompanying them. In addition, a smaller alien ship comes to Earth seeking to recollect the escaped pokemon and destroying all evidence of alien technologies. This is a small group of powerful pokemon performing their task for their masters, including threatening Earth to be the next world on their list to be genetically manipulated into a new series of pokemon.
The basic premise of this story is to bring imagination to life here, not act out a game with live actors instead of animation. It is to see children discovering the pokemon for the first time, having a real mystery instead of sending a kid out on an adventure in a world that has pokemon existing for as long as the world existed and just now someone is considering a mystery to the common animals.
Such a movie would work great if they can get Steven Spielberg to direct or write it. D&D requires a proper balance of serious drama and the movie, "Your Highness". D&D may be about roleplaying, but the game mechanics and the resulting "role playing" are needed. Some protagonist needs to be the victim of a critical miss.
Sony should still be paying the actor. If it is in contract to not perform for any other commercials, TV shows, or movies because his appearance may be seen promoting a competitor product, then it is a part of the job of the contract for this actor to be paid by Sony to not perform.
It is obvious that Lambert does not want to bite Sony on this. If he didn't care about maintaining ties with Sony, the settlement would have been far different.
Well, there was this beach over in Europe some time in the 1940s where gun carriers got together. Also, there were a lot of times during the 1860s when gun carriers got together as well.
Having played WoW, I have met some people that would be terrible employees. Many become very impatient if the raid wipes in a dungeon once, just one time.
Although, you can use WoW to grade how good a person really is in character and logic. Test the patience of 1 veteran among 4 undergeared noobs in a regular dungeon. Throw a group together into a randomized encounter and see how the group responds.
