Paramount producing animated movie based on Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman novels. Lucy Lawless has starring role in movie.
(Source:ICv2) Paramount Studios is producing an animated movie based on Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance novels. According to actor Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Battlestar Galactica), she is voicing the character of barbarian cleric Goldmoon. Here is Lawless' take on the situation, found on her fanclub site (lucylawlessfanclub.com): "I just did the voice of an animated cartoon for Paramount, called Dragonlance. Obviously it's a fantasy story, with gods and monsters -- (no lesbian subtext). I never felt I nailed animated performance before, so wanted to get a handle on it. I played a character called "Goldmoon," a Native American. We played around with accents awhile. I didn't know she was Native A till I got there and so didn't have time to research the accent (not many of those where I come from). More staccato! More comanding! More warm! Less disjointed! . . . Ummm, do you just want me to do Xena? Ahh, yes! That's it, do Xena! The voice is perfect! So warm, so commanding, so . . . yeah, yeah, let's get on with it. It was actually really fun. At last I have done something my friends can actually watch. My son is gratified that I am not playing a bad guy. He can't stand me going to BSG every day to be mean to humans. Oh well, it's a living! L" TSR Inc. (later Wizards of the Coast) published the first novel of the Dragonlance Chronicles, entitled Dragons of Autumn Twilight in April of 1984, to supplement their Advanced Dungeons & Dragons line of role-playing game products. The books were instantly successful, spawning another trilogy from Weis and Hickman and countless spin-offs from other authors.
