UPDATED! New Line picks up DUNGEONS & DRAGONS!
Hey folks, Harry here.... According to Variety New Line Cinema has picked up the domestic distribution for DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS.... Obviously... this will now play into the pre-hype for LORD OF THE RINGS, which they will inevitably attach a special trailer to this film for release. This is an example of smart thinking on the part of a studio... locking up the only similar themed project on the horizon, then releasing it so it can tap the entire fan base for their larger investment item.... LORD OF THE RINGS... But this is very good news as it was uncertain whether or not this film would get domestic distribution as its Warners deal didn't seem to be working due to complications. Well... there ya have it...
