Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly – both behind the new line sleeper hit Game Night– Set to run feature based on the popular role-playing fantasy game. Goldstein and Daly wrote the latest version of the script based on an earlier draft by Michael Cleo.
The plot details are kept under chain mail, but the game is known for its battlefields, treasure hunts, campaigns, friendships and altering fortunes, all of which are in a system that connects humans, elves, orcs and witches. This game popularly uses multi-sided dice in the game and is overseen by a hostel called Dungeon Master.
The role-flaming 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 Warner Bros. apparently settling in 2015 to make a film that Ansel Elcord once made into a film in initial negotiations for the star. However, the rights to Paramount, which had a production and distribution contract with Hasbro, eventually came to an end.
Hasbro / Eon and Paramount jointly manufacture and finance, distribute Eon in the UK and Canada, and distribute Paramount to other parts of the world. Jeremy Latzm is preparing for the 2019 eOne acquired by Hasbro.
