Cameras are now rolling on Paramount Pictures' Dungeons and Dragons movie in Northumberland, and some intriguing photos from the Alnwick Castle set have found their way online (via The Chronicle).
Though the snaps don't appear to feature any of the main cast members, there are several extras decked out in armor, as well as some sinister-looking caped individuals with head tattoos. The Forgotten Realms Wiki has also identified the blue flag flying on the battlements as the emblem of Neverwinter, AKA the Jewell of the North, while the red banner emblem is thought to be the symbol of Amaunator.
The photos aren't particularly revealing, but there are some lovely shots of the castle, dry ice billowing over the River Aln, and the surrounding woodland area. Be sure to click the link below to take a look for yourselves.
Dungeons and Dragons will star Chris Pine (Wonder Woman 1984), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Fast 9), Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Rege-Jean Page (Bridgerton), Sophia Lillis (IT), and Hugh Grant (Paddington 2) as the villain.
Game Night directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are set to helm the project, and wrote the latest version of the script based on a previous draft by Michael Gilio. Plot details are still under wraps.
Derek Kolstad (John Wick; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) has also been hired to write and develop a separate live-action Dungeons & Dragons television series, but again, details are few and far between.
