We are fortunate enough to have acquired a complete press kit
from
Dungeons and Dragons. It contains a complete list of opening
credits and
cast, explanations about the film which are derived from
the role playing game Dungeons and Dragons.
It also contains 8 pages
about the production of the film, i.e., the work
behind
bringing the film
to
the screen, explanations of how each character in the film was to
be portrayed, various famous places in Prague where the movie was
filmed, comments from cast members on their particular
character and
background information about the major cast members.
It also contains 8 5x7 publicity black and white photos and 2 8x10 black
and white publicity photos. We are pleased to be able to share this
with
all Bruce and Dungeons and Dragons fans.
Note:
There are markings and notes on some of the pages.
These was
already present on the pages when we
acquired the
Press Kit.
Excerpts of Bruce quotes and comments about Bruce:
For Bruce Payne, who plays Profion's cruel lieutenant and head of the
Empires forces Damodar, the opportunity to do all his own
swordfights,
with a sword that weighed a ton, was one of the high points of the game.
"I have a great passion for it," he says. "I've done a lot of sword
fighting
beginning in drama school. It's a very eloquent domain for showing the
largesse of a character without the accent being on the
aggression. You're
actually writing with your sword, and everybody has a different style."
Bruce Payne, who is a student of Celtic lore, thinks there may be a
reason
for that. Historically," he points out, "a lot of Celtic and Gaelic
tribes started
here." "Western Bohemia," the name of the
Czech province
where Prague is
located, is derived from the name of the Celtic tribe that first
settled the region.
