For years, Paramount Pictures has been trying to get a new Dungeons & Dragons offering to the silver screen. And now, the studio could be close to find somebody to fill their director’s chair.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount is said to be in talks with Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley about directing the picture.

Goldstein and Daley made their directing debut in 2015 with the Vacation franchise reboot, and more recently helmed Game Night. Elsewhere, the duo’s writing work include Horrible Bosses, Spider-Man: Homecoming and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.

The last we’d heard on Dungeons & Dragons was back in early 2018, with The LEGO Batman Movie’s Chris McKay at the point lined up to direct the movie. Instead, McKay has departed the project to turn his attention to the Chris Pratt-headlined Ghost Draft.

The D&D property itself began life back in 1974 as a hugely popular roleplaying game. Full of magical and mystical characters, the game was famously turned in to a cartoon series back in 1983, and a live-action turd-tastic movie would finally happen in 2000. Several other straight-to-DVD films have followed, and this latest new take on Dungeons & Dragons has been in development as far back as 2013. 2016 then saw Ansel Elgort in talks to star in the picture, but nothing concrete seemed to come of those negotiations.

As ever, expect more on all of this as we get it.
