It’s been awhile since we heard any news on the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie, but there is a small update.
Having been in development for a fair amount of time, it seems that the new project is gaining steam again having brought Chris McKay into discussions to direct.
McKay is best-known for directing The Lego Batman movie. He also directed numerous episodes of Robot Chicken and has been announced as the director for the upcoming Warner Bros/DC superhero movie Nightwing. He produced Lego Ninjago and is an exec producer on the sequel to The Lego Movie, which is currently in production.
The movie will be one of the first under Paramount’s new AllSpark Pictures banner, Michael Gilio is penning the script while Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis of Hasbro are producing.
The film has been in development for some time but the lawsuit between Sweetpea Entertainment and Hasbro about ownership of sequel rights delayed progress. Once the settlement was finalized in 2015, Hasbro moved the project from Warner Bros. to Paramount and eventually to AllSpark after announcing the new studio.
Dungeons & Dragons hits theaters on July 23, 2021.
In other Movie news or something, we are not sure really. Joe Manganiello recently tweeted a very curious picture on his Twitter
