    The live-action project from the Hasbro fantasy game has ‘Game Night’ filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signing on to direct back in 2019.

    Dec 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Chris Pine is in talks to bring cult role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons” to life onscreen in a new movie.
    The “Wonder Woman” star has been tapped to lead the ensemble cast in the live-action project, which “Game Night” filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signed on to direct in 2019.
    They also wrote the script, based on a draft by Michael Gilio.

    Further casting details have yet to be released, but they are hoping to begin production in the first quarter of 2021 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, reports Deadline.
    Goldstein and Daley aren’t the first to tackle the Hasbro fantasy game and turn it into a movie – studio bosses at Warner Bros. initially wanted Ansel Elgort as their leading man, with “Goosebumps” director Rob Letterman taking charge, but an ownership rights dispute put an end to that plan, and the film subsequently moved to Paramount, where bosses brought in “The Lego Batman Movie” helmer Chris McKay to direct. He was replaced by Goldstein and Daley last year.
    It was also previously adapted for the big screen for New Line Cinema back in 2000, but the Courtney Solomon film, which starred Jeremy Irons, Marlon Wayans and Justin Whalin, was a critical and commercial flop.
    Despite failing to impress fans, two sequels followed – “Wrath of the Dragon God” debuted on TV in 2005, and another, 2011’s “The Book of Vile Darkness”, was released straight to DVD.

      In this one, he’s kind of wide-eyed and excited about everything and ready for the experience, even about parachute pants and what not, so it was fun for me to flip the script on the character.”

      The “Star Trek” actor had no problem sporting parachute pants in the film, set more than 35 years ago, but he’s most excited about making another 80s style staple – the fanny pack – trendy again.
      “The fanny pack, I will say, is a very clever device…,” he raves. “I think for a gentleman, or anyone that really wants to wear a well fitted pant, the fanny pack provides both a protection of the silhouette of the pant while also providing incredible storage space.”
      “Wonder Woman 1984” will be released in theatres and on streaming service HBO Max on Christmas Day (December 25).
