\n\t\t\t\t\tJonathan Goldstein revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that he and John Francis Daley have delivered a screenplay for a Dungeons & Dragons sequel, hired to write it after Honor Among Thieves underwhelmed at the box office. “I don’t know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons,” Goldstein said, adding that such films remain expensive to produce despite the fan enthusiasm the first movie generated.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Jonathan Goldstein has a script sitting in a drawer, and he\u2019d love nothing more than to see it produced. At San Diego Comic-Con, the co-writer and co-director of \u2018Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves\u2019 confirmed that he and John Francis Daley finished a sequel screenplay a while back, cast and all. Nobody\u2019s greenlit it, and the reason comes down to cold math. \u201cWe were hired to write it, I don\u2019t know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons,\u201d Goldstein admitted, a line that turns a beloved fantasy franchise into another cautionary tale about sequels that exist only on paper.<\/p>\n
