I can certainly see what you mean. There would likely be lots of arguing and dispute between the workers if someone wanted to change something and someone else didn't, since we all have different views. It would likely take even longer then if you can even find a cast for it!

Yeah, a trailer probably would have been pretty cool

Agreed with the part about it taking a long time. In my opinion, fan made movies can be pretty cool but, it can really come down to arguenents on how they do something, so basically the movie would have been great, but it would have been a disaster in the making, if there were people who protested against it and argued about what should be done and what shouldn't be, know what I mean?

Oh and 1 more thing, at the end of DOTD, i didnt understood why Sparx and Spyro werent together (after the end credits) cause Sparx goes to the dragon city with the other dragons and Spyro goes with Cynder to Avalar but i fort them 2 was a team thou, like it started with them 2 shouldnt they be with each other in the end, i just find i a lil odd seein the best of mates smilie

Well IF they do; do a movie, all id knw that id be going to see it haha smilie, and personally as i sed the New Hunter is more better then the old 1 bcause i knw, in the new 1 hes seriuos and in the old 1 hes funny, but TLOS is really a kinda gothic/dark game if u get wat i mean and if you have a happy Hunter, itd be like he was put in the game at random with his jokes, finally i reckon Sparx in it is preety funny, he does a lot of complainin thou but still funny, in my opinion smilie

Same. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as some of us might think.

I would've loved to see a trailer of it.

Fan made movie? I heard of some of those. I think a fan made movie would be pretty cool, but it'll likely take a really long while to get finished.

They were going to make a movie, but I remember it got cancelled... It was real sudden, but to be expected, seeing as there were no trailers.

Oh and the group of people I was talking about for making the movie, just to clarify, it wasn't a real cast or crew working on the movie, it was like a fan made thing they were really gonna try to inspire among the cast to see if they can get it back in production again.

Well, there use to be quite the number of people making a movie, I think it just stopped a while ago in 2011, I'm not sure what happened to all those people, but as far as it seems, they gave up or forgot about it.

The only thing I see now getting a movie is Skylanders... But in my opinion I doubt that'd be good for a movie either...

Welcome. Sorry if I came off as harsh. :c

As for a movie, I don't know. I love movies, but I think Spyro is just one of those franchises which should stay as games (LoS, Skylanders, AND Classics).
Maybe a movie would be cool, but in my opinion I think it should stay as games.

The trailers on TV don't show much gameplay, heh.
