Having played and beat Neverwinter Nights many times back in the day, I am looking forward to the new Dungeons and Dragons movie. Some of the announced cast include Chris Pine, Michelle Rodrigues, Sophia Lillis from "It" and even British romcom actor Hugh Grant who plays a villain in the movie. Film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, though I don't understand why they didn't hire Joe Manganiello for the project. He's arguably the biggest D&D geek in Hollywood who seems to have a clear understanding how a D&D movie could work judging by his interviews, referring to LOTR Fellowship of the Ring as an example and digging about what it's core is. He could be compared to as a Jordan Vogt-Roberts of fantasy, a guy in the industry watching from the sidelines pushing his directorial vision and wanting to reinvent movie making methods for his beloved franchise. He even prepared a script.

An inside source alluded a few years back Warners Brothers plans for a series of interconnected movies aka the MCU for the D&D cinematic franchise.

Another report said they were looking at The Fellowship of the Ring and The Raiders of the Lost Ark for it's direction.

In general, I think Stranger Things has put D&D further into the mainstream for the general audience, being an integral part of the shows plot.
