Game Night Directors In Talks To Helm Dungeons & Dragons Film

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the directors behind New Line’s sleeper hit Game Night are in talks to direct the Dungeons & Dragons movie for Paramount.

Goldstein and Daley, who recently exited Warner Bros. stand-alone Flash movie, will be replacing Chris McKay, who was previously attached to direct. Michael Gilio will write the screenplay.

The role-playing game from Hasbro was previously adapted by New Line in 2000 for a film starring Jeremy Irons. In recent years, the property has been at the center of a legal battle over its film rights, with a 2015 settlement paving the ways for Warner Bros. to make the film.
