Regé-Jean Page joins the fantastic universe of
Dungeons and Dragons
.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter
, the actor from
The Chronicle of the Bridgertons
was recruited to star in the new Paramount blockbuster, inspired by the cult role-playing game.
There he will find Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Justice Smith, already announced to the poster of this project on which the studio puts a lot.
A franchise is planned around this fantastic universe, rich in adventures, treasures, mythical fights, and… dragons.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (the duo behind the success of
Game Night
) signed the script and will also direct the film.
The precise role of the one who has established himself as one of the stars of the new Netflix box has not yet been revealed, as production is still in its infancy.
Jackpot
We do not know the precise plot of this new
Dungeons and Dragons
.
The Hollywood Reporter
suggests that he might be interested in the mechanics of role-playing games, in which the story is invented by a "Master of the Game".
Players must use dice to determine the success or failure of actions taken by the characters (warriors, clerics, mages, bards…) they embody.
The casting of Regé-Jean Page is in any case a big blow for Paramount.
The Briton has become, almost overnight, one of the most coveted actors in Hollywood thanks to
The Chronicle of the Bridgertons
.
According to Netflix, the series, in which he plays the Duke of Hastings, was one of the biggest success stories in the history of the platform, with more than 82 million accounts having viewed season 1 in the first month. .
The actor will also present for the first time the cult show
Saturday Night Live
next weekend.
Paramount therefore puts all the chances on its side for
Dungeons and Dragons
, which has already been the subject of three unfortunate adaptations in the early 2000s.
