‘John Wick’ writer is developing a ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ TV series for Entertainment One
Entertainment One (eOne) hired “John Wick” writer Derek Kolstad to develop a script for the TV series “Dungeons & Dragons”. Dungeons & Dragons, which has been adapted for the cinema before, is a popular board game from Hasbro-owned Wizards of the Coast. (Wizards of the Coast also created the popular card game Magic the Gathering.) After a $ 3.8 billion takeover, Entertainment One is also part of Hasbro, which knows something about board games (Monopoly, Clue, Yahtzee, Scrabble, etc.). In addition to this small-screen development project, which was told by an insider with knowledge of the process is in the “early stages”, eOne is also working with other writers on other D&D projects. One of them is the new film “Dungeons & Dragons”, which is being directed by Jonathan Goldstein and Jonathan Francis Daley.

He is represented by APA, Circle of Confusion and Behr Abramson Levy. The 2000 film “Dungeons & Dragons”, directed by Courtney Solomon and written by Topper Lilien and Carroll Cartwright, does not inspire much confidence in another attempt by the franchise. This D&D adaptation has only a 10% rating with critics from Rotten Tomatoes. The audience has the film with 20%. This film starred Jeremy Irons, Bruce Payne and Marlon Wayans, among others.

Still, it inspired a sequel, which in 2005 had a very limited foreign release. The board game Dungeons & Dragons is a legend in nerdy culture. It has often moved on to TV and cinema countless times, most recently as the favorite game for children in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” series. In Dan Harmon’s Community, the gang plays an entire game. THR first reported the news that Kolstad was developing a “Dungeons & Dragons” show for Entertainment One.
