I actually hope theyd play around with interpersing them playing versus the in-game story.
Im just imagining how hilarious it could be to see one of the characters doing something FUBAR and it just smashcuts to them at the table looking horrified.
That's always what happens, it just becomes general fantasy based on the canon lore rather than playing with the fun meta things. I'd want it to just play on every trope and meta-joke to make it a DND movie and not a movie based loosely on the background lore.
Same here! Imagine how funny it would be if all the side characters kept trying to convince the leads to go to this one location and the movie is basically about the main characters avoiding the plot in favour of nonsensical wackiness. Part way through the movie there's a gargantuan plothole and here the voice of one of the players say "that doesn't make any sense." Cut to the game table and an argument with the DM who insists that it was the plan all along. But the DM reluctantly agrees to retcon the thing that caused the plothole and the movie rewinds where we then see the altered version of events.
A background lore based movie that still shows what player characters do with the lore would also work I think.
..have drizzt being all sad and edgy and the main cast ruin the gravity of the scene.
It sounds like it would be the most annoying thing ever. It may as well just pause the film, have someone walk on screen, and tell you to not care about a single character cause theyre not real and nothing will happen. It will also pause every 30 seconds and remind you that you are watching a movie.
