‘John Wick’ author develops’ TV series’ Dungeons & Dragons’ for entertainment
Entertainment One (eOne) tapped ‘John Wick’ writer Derek Kolstad to develop a ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ television series. Formerly adapted for the big screen, Dungeons & Dragons is a popular board game from the Wizards of the Coast owned by Hasbro. (Wizards of the Coast also created the popular Magic the Gathering card game.) Following the $ 3.8 billion acquisition, Entertainment One is also now part of Hasbro, which knows a thing or two about board games (Monopoly, Clue, Yahtzee, Scrabble , etc. .). In addition to this small-screen development project, which we believe was conducted by an insider with knowledge of the process at a very early stage, eOne is also working with other writers on other D&D projects. One of them is a new movie “Dungeons & Dragons” directed by Jonathan Goldstein and Jonathan Francis Daley.

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

The 21-year-old movie was not only a critical nightmare; it was also a box office bomb that struck south of $ 34 million worldwide with a budget of According to Box Office Mojo $ 45 million. Yet it inspired a sequel, which in 2005 had a very limited foreign release. The board game Dungeons & Dragons is a legend in nerd culture. It has often been transferred countless times to TV and film, most recently as the best game for children in the Netflix series “Stranger Things”. On Dan Harmon’s ‘Community’, the gang plays an entire game. THR first reported that Kolstad had developed a show “Dungeons & Dragons” for Entertainment One.
