D&Dfans everywhere have been waiting for a decentDungeons & Dragonsmovie ever since the 2000 box office flop starringJeremy Irons,Marlon Wayans, andThora Birch. Paramount is taking a different approach with the popular role-playing franchise and doubling down on the star power in order to guarantee the film’s success. We previously reported that major stars likeChris Pine,Michelle Rodriguez,Justice Smith, and most recentlyRegé-Jean PageWill be starring in the film. But directors Goldstein and Daley, who also wrote the most recent draft of the movie’s script, have been tight-lipped about what the final product will look like.
