Battle Over ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Movie
Tuesday, December 17th, 2013
Well boy’s and girls, it looks as if it is going to be a long time before we are allowed to enjoy another Dungeons & Dragons film.
According to ICv2.com, Sweetpea Entertainment filed suit for a partial dismissal of the infringement suit filed by Wizards of the Coast against Sweetpea regarding its plans for a film based upon the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. The planned Warner Bros. film is to be based upon D&D precursor Chainmail, not Dungeons & Dragons, the motion alleges.
Evidently, the Warner Bros. film with Sweetpea is one of two planned Dungeons & Dragons films. The other, by Universal Studios, is currently in the works with Wizards of the Coast parent company Hasbro. Additionally, Sweetpea likewise filmed suit last September to block the Universal Studios film.
Trial is set for March 24, 2014.
So Dungeons & Dragons fans, be patient – looks like it is going to be a while before we enjoy a new Dungeons & Dragons film. However, if it is anything like the 2000 film Dungeons & Dragons starring Jeremy Irons and Thora Birtch, we can wait.
