What is ‘Dungeons & Dragons’?

Featured Video

Dungeons & Dragons is a tabletop role-playing game that released in 1974 and, to this day, it retains a fairly sizable player base as enthusiasts still delve into the roleplay-rich experience.

For the uninitiated, each game has a set of players who make their own characters and every game has a dungeon master who takes charge with their own created story or a pre-made adventure.

What will it be about?

The synopsis states that the film is a “Fantasy adventure centering on a warrior and his band of mystical creatures as they embark on a dangerous journey to find a mythical treasure.”

The script has a brand new draft with Michael Gillio rewriting Johnson’s work but this new piece has the studio executives “absolutely buzzing” and so things are looking good. Hopefully, it’s a step above the original 2000 film.

Who is working on the film?
