               According to Variety, Rob Letterman (Monsters vs. Aliens, Shark Tale) has signed on to helm the new Dungeons and Dragons movie. Letterman had been looked at by Warner Bros. for weeks but when he told them his vision for the franchise, they grabbed him.

               Letterman has had success in the animated field with films like Monsters vs. Aliens and Shark Tale, yet his biggest achievement might be his most recent film, Goosebumps. It made a solid return at the box office while also being well received critically.

               David Leslie Johnson (Wrath of the Titans, Orphan) has been picked to write the script and Hasbro is producing the movie. Hasbro has their own cinematic universe upcoming with other properties like G.I. Joe but it is unclear at this time if Dungeons and Dragons will be a part of that shared universe.
