Yeah, my biggest concern is that it's going to end up as generic fantasy, without acknowledging it's a game and having fun with it.

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.

Exactly! If it was played off as a massive in-joke comedy it'd be so much more interesting than another fantasy film.

Nah, maybe something that provides a GOOD role model for new people wanting to join?

Instead of a railroading GM we have an actual competent GM, having fun with their players.

Or the DM learning his lesson and just letting the players have fun, after the players call him out.

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.
