Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Game Nightfilmmakers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in talks to direct Paramount’sDungeons & Dragonsmovie reboot . The classic illusion tabletop theatrical role - spiel gameDungeons & Dragonsessentially ushered in the modern geological era of function - playing game when it was first published in 1974 , and has continued to be major part of that relatively niche culture ever since . Unsurprisingly , Hollywood has already endeavor to hard cash - in on its popularity once before ; the termination , however , was the infamously campy box office miss that was 2000’sD&Dlive - action photographic film .
Warner Bros. later made program to reboot theDungeons & Dragonsmovies in 2015 , withBaby Driver ’s Ansel Elgort starring and Rob Letterman ( Detective Pikachu ) directing . matter did n’t work on out , though , and the reboot moved over to Paramount in 2017 , after Sweetpea Entertainment and Hasbro reached a deal over the subsequence rights .

According toVariety , John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are now in public lecture to direct theD&Dreboot , with Michael Grillo ( a lesser - known writer ) still working on the script . The timing work out well too , as Daley and Goldstein only recently take off WB’sThe FlashDCEU solo movie ( whichMamaandIT Chapter One & Two ’s Andy Muschietti is presently in talks to oversee , or else ) .
In what ’s undoubtedlynota coincidence , Daley and Goldstein were among the members of thesince - abandoned Hasbro Film Universe writing teamthat Paramount and Hasbro ’s Allspark Pictures announced in April 2016 . They also made their directorial debut with 2015’sVacationreboot and cowroteSpider - Man : Homecomingfor the MCU before making a much bigger splash with their 2nd directorial effort on last yr ’s activity - comedy , Game Night . Indeed , the latter was a surprise hit that was overflowing with optic flair and creativity , and got people excited to see what Daley and Goldstein could do when paint on a larger canvass ( namely , a studio apartment tentpole ) .
That ’s to say , based on their old work , the distich are well in their pilothouse with theDungeons & Dragonsreboot . Interestingly , though , the film is one of three fantasy adventures that are currently scheduled to get in November 2021 , with the other two beingThor : Love and Thunderand the as - yet untitled thirdFantastic Beastsinstallment . All three movies should be pretty different when it comes to tone , however , withFantastic Beasts 3expected to be by far the darkest of the tierce ( if also capricious in its own fashion ) . Still , there ’s a prospect that Paramount will move theD&Dreboot sometime between now and then , if only to make certain that it ’s not overshadowed by the contention .
