‘Dungeons & Dragons’ reboot movie has officially wrapped up filming today (Aug. 19) in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Director John Francis Daley confirmed via his Twitter account. The film is currently set to be released on March 3, 2023.

Starring Chris Pine in the leading role, Paramount’s upcoming action fantasy movie officially began filming on April 29, with the cast and crew of around 60-70 people. The movie was also filmed reportedly in Iceland for a week or two.

Jonathan Goldstein is co-directing and writing the script for the film with John Francis Daley. Jeremy Latcham is producing through his deal with studio eOne, Hasbro’s entertainment arm. Hasbro’s Brian Goldner is also producing. Other producers also include Stephen Davis, Roy Lee, Courtney Solomon, and Allan Zeman. Denis L. Stewart is serving as executive producer.

Dungeons & Dragons is an upcoming American fantasy adventure film based on the RPG of the same name and a reboot of the film series of the same name. The plot details of the film are still kept under the wraps.

The film stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Hugh Grant, Chloe Coleman, Jason Wong, Daisy Head, and Sophia Lillis. Regé-Jean Page is known for Shonda Rhimes’s wildly popular Bridgerton on Netflix, the actor wrapped his part in the first week of August. In December 2020, Chris Pine was cast to star in the film, he is reportedly getting $11.5 Million to star in this film. Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Hugh Grant, and Sophia Lillis joined the cast in the following months, with Grant cast as the antagonist, Forge Fletcher, and Lillis as Doric. My Spy star Chloe Coleman along with Jason Wong and Daisy Head also joined the ensemble cast. Wong is playing Dralas.

The cast also includes Nicholas Blane, Dan Poole, Barry O'Connor, Adrian Christopher, and Lati Gbaja.

Even before production started, the film had undergone numerous changes. The film was first announced by Warner Bros. in 2013 and then moved to Paramount in 2017. The film's release date has also changed significantly; it was originally scheduled for July 23, 2021. The release date was then pushed back to May 27, 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then to November 19, 2021, to accommodate the release of Mission: Impossible 7. The release date was pushed back to March 3, 2023, earlier this year (current release date).

Dungeons & Dragons is a leading fantasy entertainment franchise, fueled by the imagination of storytellers around the world. More than 40 million fans have interacted with or played D&D since it was first published 46 years ago.

Any chance you might be misremembering? Because I've been paging through my copy of The Making of Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie, and while it has a lot of quotes from Courtney Solomon (for what those are worth) about how the movie was produced, there's nothing that I've seen to indicate that he's related to Lorraine Williams.
Anything's possible, sure. But I'm fairly certain. "The Making of Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie" was a part of TSR's promotional push for the film, and you wouldn't find that there.

And yet the Battleship movie was actually more watchable than either of the previous D&D movies!
That's not exactly setting the bar very high. :)

I don't know if you ever watched any of the continuing series Sweet Pea kept cranking out to maintain their rights to the movies, but they were even worse somehow.

At least imho! Not that it was good. But yeah movies based on existing non-movie IPs run the full gamut from amazing to utter tripe, and unfortunately, are probably slightly more likely to be utter tripe than original IP movies. Particularly those based on games, whether video, board, or TT RPG.

Honestly good title here, good cast, solid writers - the potential here is for this to not suck at least.

I have little to no expectation of success or failure. I have fond hopes because a good D&D movie could be a lot of fun. It has a good cast, this is not a low budget movie directed by a novice.

Or anywhere, from what I can tell.

I hope this doesn't seem truculent on my part; I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just think that "what really happened" ideas should be verified rather than taken at face value.

I think "professionally made and watchable" are strong possibilities. Not going to hold my breath for "good," but "fun" seems doable.

Really excited about Hasbro going bonkers with toy tie-ins that I can get my kids.
Just for fun, because even making a watchable movie is hard, and getting above that bar takes not just talent but also some good luck.

Professionally made and watchable - DC20
Good - DC25
Great - DC30
Timeless Classic - DC35

With this film-making adventuring party, it has at least a good chance of hitting good or great, but a Nat 1 could still just leave it watchable. And even getting lucky with a Nat 20, don't think this group is quite high enough level to hit the Timeless Classic DC. :)

Bump it down by 5 for each DC, due to the skill and history of the people involved.

Lol, I was thinking that they probably have around a +14 total for their check (+4 Cha, +10 performance/ expertise). If anything, I'd say the DCs are 5 too low, since professionally made and watchable should be really hard for anyone untrained.

Touché.
