Chris Pine
Chris Pine is in talks to play the lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of popular fantasy role-playing game, Dungeons and Dragons.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who are on board to direct the film, are also writing the screenplay, which is based on a draft by Michael Gili. Dungeons And Dragons was first adapted into a film in 2000. The film, which starred Justin Whalin, Marlon Wayans and Jeremy Irons, was a flop.
The upcoming version has been in the works for years. It was first being made by Warner Bros with Ansel Elgort being considered for the lead role. The film has moved to Paramount. The studio is co-producing and co-financing the film with Hasbro and eOne and is slated to release on May 27, 2022.
