The original Dream Cast Poll. During the last few months of 1995 and January 1996 wanna-be casting gurus on alt.fan.dragonlance were asked to nominate and vote on their ideal cast for a hypothetical Dragonlance movie. The emphasis here is on hypothetical because no-one knows if a live-action Dragonlance movie will ever get made, and besides, with the results of the poll, this movie would probably cost about $500 million make, based on salary requirements for the cast.
Special thanks must go out to Chris Pierson who spent many hours receiving ballots, crunching numbers, disqualifying Culkin-supporting idiots, and generally administering this poll. It's worth reading Chris' notes before checking out the results below.
