‘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.

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).

Yeah, we've never had crappy movies based on, say Marvel characters, that later on were redone and turned in to a multi billion dollar franchise.
But there's a big difference between Marvel and D&D as IP. Marvel is story, characters, and narrative. D&D is a game.
At best, it would be like a video game movie adaptation - Resident Evil, Sonic, or Double Dragon. But at its worst, it would be like a board game adaptation like Battleship or Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots - and we saw how well those "game to movies" adaptations worked.

I remember how excited I was about the first movie. I'm still hurting.

Can't be hurt again.
My clearest memory of seeing Dungeons & Dragons in the theater was thinking that when a Wayans brother dies in a movie and the film goes DOWNHILL after that point, something has gone horribly wrong.

Note that I have since completely changed my outlook re: the Wayans brothers, but the memory is still etched in my brain.

Wow! Courtney Solomon is a producer. What kind of deal did he get with TSR all those years ago that he gets a producer credit on this, and I guess all DnD movies?
A ridiculously good deal. Solomon's aunt, Lorraine Williams, was in charge of TSR at the time and gave her nephew a deal too good for a seasoned producer, much less someone with Solomon's lack of experience. Nepotism, gotta love it!

EDIT: Turns out I was misremembering . . . Solomon was friends with Flint Dille, who was related to Williams. Solomon wasn't.

Sure, there were some pre-MCU stinkers, but we also had Blade, X-Men, the original Hulk TV show, Raimi's Spider-Man. With D&D, it's like if all the prior movies were the Reb Brown Captain America.

Don't get me wrong, I want them to knock this one out of the park. I am just keeping my expectations low so I'll hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

I've never heard that the two were related. It would certainly explain how an inexperienced kid got the job.

What was really irritating, was that the TSR promotion for the movie cast Solomon as a plucky kid daring to dream big, walking into TSR's offices and asking for the entirety of D&D's movie rights, with no experience but an impressive pitch . . . . . and it was just nepotism.
