There hasn't been much word about the Dungeons & Dragon movie that Warner Bros. announced that they'd be developing last year, however it seems True Blood and The Batman star Joe Manganiel is working on the script of the film.
On the most recent episode of Happy Sad Confused, Manganielo, who held a creative summit with Wizards of the Coast (the company behind Dungeons & Dragons), is actually co-writing a script for the film with a friend.
"Obviously, there's a spectacle. There's dragons breathing fire and lightning. But what makes a great superhero or fantasy movie is the human aspect. It's got to be about something. We root for those characters in Game of Thrones. Fellowship of the Ring was about friendship, this undying love for your friends. That's something everyone can identify with.
"When a movie is about something human and real emotionally people are going to want to see. Then you get some dragons breathing fire, and hey, I'm in."
While it is surprising to hear the Hollywood celebrity writing a script for Dungeons & Dragons, what many don't know is that Mangaiello is a fan of the game itself, playing D&D in his spare time. While there isn't much word on the film's plot, it's great how Warner Bros. leaving the script in the hands of an actual fan and D&D player.
