This most recent attempt at adaptation of the classic tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons has had a long and winding road since it was first conceived.
The film also only recently pegged down director Chris McKay – whose only other feature film directing credit was The LEGO Batman Movie from 2017.
Given the name Dungeons & Dragons most commonly evokes a traditional high fantasy setting, it is intuitive that England be the filming location for the 2021 adaptation.
The film has since moved from Warner Bros. to Paramount Pictures – who brought in McKay to helm the project.
