New ‘Dungeons And Dragons’ Movie In The Works At Warner Bros.!

Briefly: Somehow, all of this slipped past me, but apparently, for some time now Warner Bros., Hasbro, and Sweetpea Entertainment have been in a legal battle regarding the rights to the Dungeons and Dragons franchise (THR has a great write-up about exactly what happened).

Warner Bros. lawyer’s have apparently passed their ‘persuasion’ skill check, as said battle has just ended, and the studio wasted no time at all in announcing a new Dungeons and Dragons film.

The announced, as yet untitled movie already has a script written by Wrath of the Titans scribe David Leslie Johnson, and will be produced by The Lego Movie and How to Train Your Dragon producer Roy Lee.

“We are so excited about bringing the world of Dungeons & Dragons to life on the big screen,” said Greg Silverman, president of creative development and worldwide production at Warner Bros. Pictures. “This is far and away the most well-known brand in fantasy, which is the genre that drives the most passionate film followings. D&D has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property.”
