Chris Pine is a decent actor and can probably give us a somewhat likeable protag, but will the writing be up to snuff? I really don't have much faith in these writers anymore. Just too much trash coming out nowadays.
So with that in mind, as much as I would love to see something more serious along the lines of Dragonlance or the Dark Elf Trilogy, they would almost assuredly screw those up. A schlocky action comedy, though? Maybe they can pull something like that off.
Also...since this seems to be a common trope nowadays...there's probably be a pretty good chance that Michelle Rodriguez's barbarian character will turn out smarter than the bard and outwit him at every opportunity. Just a hunch.
