Dungeons and Dragons, known for its war games, treasure hunts, campaigns, camaraderie and reversals of fortune, was previously adapted for the big screen in 2000 by New Line.

The film, which starred Justin Whalin, Marlon Wayans and Jeremy Irons, was a critical and commercial debacle.

The new take is backed by Paramount in collaboration with Hasbro and eOne. Jeremy Latcham is producing the project for eOne, while Brian Goldner is on board as a producer for Hasbro.
