I recall a few years ago there were (it seemed) several different film projects in train on D&D. Did any make it to fruition in the end? Or even partly (with good footage/interviews)? Just curious :)

I second this curiosity.  There is a Kickstarter trailer advertising a documentary back in 2012/2013, but I can't find much else.

All of them pretty much ended up in Legal Hell. Backers might have more info.

Man, reading through that stuff is just sad.   It's a shame that it turned so ugly.

What at worst should have been two very interesting takes on what happened, has basically turned into your typical internet pissing contest where neither gets made and everyone goes poor except the attorneys.

They're still making the original one (sometimes we get updates). It's been a long time since the last update, however.
