Dungeons & Dragons is an upcoming fantasy film directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. The film will be a reboot to the 2000 film of the same name.
Production of the film went through various phases in development since 2013, beginning with Warner Bros. Pictures after beating Hasbro and Universal Pictures in a lawsuit, before moving to Paramount Pictures, each with various writers and directors. Goldstein and Daley were the final writers/directors, using elements from the previous attempt by director Chris McKay and screenwriter Michael Gilio; both McKay and Gilio were granted story credits. Filming began in April 2021 in Iceland and later Northern Ireland.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 31, 2023, by Paramount Pictures.
