Warner Bros. Set To Produce ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Film

Warner Bros. is teaming up with Hasbro to create the new Dungeons & Dragons film. The studio confirmed that it already has a script ready for the project from David Leslie Johnson, whose credits include Wrath of the Titans and The Conjuring 2.

Warner Bros. pointed out that this adaptation is being created with a complete franchise in the making, meaning that Johnson’s script is likely only the beginning of the future series.

”[Dungeons & Dragons] has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property,” Warner Bros.’ president of creative development and worldwide production Greg Silverman said.

The studio didn’t mention details about the plot of the film, but WB’s executive vice president and CCO of Hasbro, Stephen Davis said that the film presents the chance “to bring the rich fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms to life.”

A Dungeons & Dragons feature film was already made in 2000, however the panned film went direct-to-DVD.
