Paramount Picturesare working on aDungeons & Dragonsfilm, which is currently without a director, and sources close to FandomWire have unveiled information on the characters.
What is ‘Dungeons & Dragons’?
Dungeons & Dragonsis a tabletop role-playing game that released in 1974 and, to this day, it retains a fairly sizable player base as enthusiasts still delve into the roleplay-rich experience.
For the uninitiated, each game has a set of players who make their own characters and every game has a dungeon master who takes charge with their own created story or a pre-made adventure.
What will it be about?
The synopsis states that the film is a “Fantasy adventure centering on a warrior and his band of mystical creatures as they embark on a dangerous journey to find a mythical treasure.”
The script has a brand new draft with Michael Gillio rewriting Johnson’s work but this new piece has the studio executives “absolutely buzzing” and so things are looking good. Hopefully, it’s a step above the original 2000 film.
Who is working on the film?
Currently, nobody has been cast for any of the roles mentioned and there is no director but Chris McKay is in talks. There is a writer in the previously mentioned Michael Gillio and there are executive producers as Allan Zeman and John Middleton are filling that role.
Whilst nobody has been cast, Paramount is looking for the movie’s male lead, with a list of actors including Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Matthew McConaughey, Jamie Foxx, Joel Edgerton, Dave Bautista, Jeremy Renner, and Johnny Depp.
Paramount Pictures are the studio behind this adaptation but it is also being produced by Allspark Pictures, Hasbro, Inc., Vertigo Entertainment and Sweetpea Entertainment.
