This isn’t the first time studios have attempted to take the game franchise to the big screen. In 2000, there was a feature titled “Dungeons & Dragons” which was a box office bomb, raking in only $34 million worldwide.

It also received two follow-up sequels. READ MORE: Buzzworthy Movies And TV Shows At Comic-Con 2022 Paramount and eOne’s attempt hopes to set their take apart by adding what Grant calls “a Monty Python sensibility.” “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is set to release in
