Dungeons and Dragons 2 Is Written and Homeless

The Dungeons and Dragons 2 script is finished, and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein wrote it. Paramount commissioned it under the old leadership, passed on it under the new one, and Hasbro is now shopping it to other studios.

Honor Among Thieves was the kind of mid-budget adventure movie that barely gets made anymore, which is why the sequel script sitting on a shelf stings. The passing was a financial call, not a creative one, and the rights are still with Hasbro. The pitch working in the sequel's favor is that the setup work is already paid for. The party is established, the cast is known, and the story can start at the next adventure instead of the introductions.

• 0:00 The Sequel Script Is Written
• 0:15 Paramount Passes, Hasbro Shops It
• 0:29 Bringing the Same Party Back
• 0:42 Scheduling and Leveling Up
• 0:57 What Happens From Here

Key takeaways:

• The script exists and is done. What is missing is a studio willing to fund it.
• Paramount ordered it under previous leadership and the new ownership passed for financial reasons.
• Hasbro still holds the rights and is actively looking for a new partner.
• A finished script is not a greenlight, and nothing about this means a sequel is close.
