There's a Candidate to Direct the Film Adaptation of the Popular '80s Game. Fans Will Be Delighted

James Bobin, director of two Muppet feature films and a film adaptation of the popular children's cartoon about treasure hunter Dora, is the leading candidate to direct a film adaptation of the popular arcade game "Dragon's Lair." The film is being produced by Ryan Reynolds.

"Dragon's Lair" is one of the most popular games in video game arcades in the early 80s. Its film adaptation has been planned for a long time, but now the project may gain momentum thanks to finding its director. James Bobin is close to taking on this position, as reported by The InSneider.

One of the producers of the upcoming adaptation is Ryan Reynolds . It seemed for some time that the star would also be in the cast of the film based on "Dragon's Lair", but that option is no longer valid. The project is being developed by production companies Vertigo Entertainment and Underground for Netflix.

Since 1983, when "Dragon's Lair" hit video game arcades, the game has been the most popular in America for a long time. It was supposed to revolutionize the market with its movie-like animation and modern technology using the LaserDisc optical disc to allow for more detailed storytelling. However, the plans did not work out, and development was suspended. Players still remember the game fondly to this day, as evidenced by the series "Stranger Things".

The game's protagonist is the knight Dirk the Daring , whose mission is to rescue Princess Daphne from the clutches of the evil dragon Singe and the sorcerer Mordroc . This is the perfect project for Bobin, who has proven with two Muppet films that he feels great in productions that combine live-action with puppets, and adventure with comedy.
