International Knightmare!

LOL, that's really really good Gerz.
I bet they would go for Star Wars similarities! I'd think they'd make Pickle the hero, except he'd be buffed up a lot- no more meekness, just a few awful catchphrases (Leonardo DiWhatsit, perhaps?) . I wonder if perhaps he'd have to avenge the death at Lord Fear's hands of his aging mentor, Treguard (Sean Connery?). Perhaps in his death scene Treguard could reveal to Pickle he's his real father. Or, of course, you could go the full Star Wars route, and have Lord Fear as Pickle's daddymoos.
Anyway, Pickle has to seek and destroy Lord Fear (as Thanatos suggests, probably Alan Rickman). Along the way he's guided by Hordriss (ably portrayed by Christopher Lee), and the ghosts of Treguard and Merlin (Sir Ian McKellen). He's severely tempted by one or several evil beauties- perhaps Jamie Lee Curtis as Aesandre?- and would probably end up sleeping with at least two of them. (Of course, one of them could therefore be pregnant and raise the resulting child as a new nemesis for Pickle to face in the sequel.)
Anyway, he finally destroys Lord Fear, but not without ample mention of Merlin/Mogdred, who'd form the basis for a prequel when the sequels dry up. (Perhaps Sir Ian McKellen could play both Merlin and Mogga?) He ends up winning the heart of some beauty- Majida, who'd probably be renamed Magic Gal (as someone mentioned on another thread). Anyway, we find out in the next movie that she can easily look after herself- yes, she's a completely unoriginal ballsy heroine (and good insurance in case DiWhatsit demands to much cash to do the sequel), probably played by Liz Hurley.
The two escape Mount Fear just as it's exploding, but with the promise of a lucrative sequel, you can never be sure that Lord Fear's really dead, can you?

Which modern movie stars do you think would be good in the roles if the established characters from Knightmare were recast?
Alan Rickman as Treguard perhaps? (He really looked like the Dungeon Master in Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves.) Jennifer Aniston as Gretel? How about Whoopi Goldberg as Gundrada?
-
Yeah, Alan Rickman would be a good dungeon master Except maybe he wouldn't be sympathetic enough - perhaps he'd make a better Lord Fear
Ooh! Patrick Stewart as dungeon master! He'd be cool And Kirsten Dunst would make a good Elita

I'd never re-cast Treguard, Lord Fear or Hands (though if I had to I'd choose Brian Blessed, John Hurt and Johnny Depp).
Ridolfo: Orlando Bloom
Hordriss: Christopher Lee
Maldame: Sian Phillips
Julius Scaramonger: Sean Bean
Mogdred: Ian McKellan or Anthony Hopkins
Sir Hugh de Witless: Jack Davenport
McGrew: Robbie Coultrane
Merlin: Derek Jacobi
Mrs. Grimwold: Miriam Margolyes
Lissard: Richard o'Brien
-
Christopher Lee as Hordriss? Yeah!
Johnny Depp in his Pirates of the Caribbean role (Keith Richards in Monkey Island: The Movie, more like!) as Skarkill...
Lord Fear: "Skarkill! Where are you, you misreable goblin hunter?"
Skarkill: "Hey, whoa, everything's fine, you'll get your dungeoneer on a platter."
LF: "You'd better, or you'll be incinerated so fast you won't know what hit you."
Skarkill: "Ah, now you see there, I would know, because you've just told me. Now instant incineration? That would be...interesting."

Richard O'Brien : Lissard
That one is truly inspired. It must be done.
How about me as Lord Fear? I've already got a lovely cloak.
Right, I'm off to chair a 'Zippy Is Blind' meeting
