Chris Pine is in talks to play the lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of popular fantasy role-playing game, Dungeons and Dragons.

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who are on board to direct the film, are also writing the screenplay, which is based on a draft by Michael Gili. Dungeons And Dragons was first adapted into a film in 2000. The film, which starred Justin Whalin, Marlon Wayans and Jeremy Irons, was a flop.
