Success for future films in the Dungeons & Dragons franchise is still a possibility, despite disappointing box office results. A precedent for sequels in the high-fantasy genre, even after major failures, has been set by In the Name of the King. Direct-to-dvd-type releases, like the sequels to In the Name of the King, may provide a viable path for Dungeons & Dragons 2 to succeed.
After a disappointing performance at the box office, fans' chances of seeing a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves seemed pretty remote. The movie, despite receiving rave reviews, failed to find a significant audience, generating just $208 million against a $150 million budget. Ordinarily, such clear financial failure would mean curtains for future installments in a movie franchise. And yet, there is still hope for further cinematic installments in the story, thanks to the precedent set by action superstar Jason Statham's worst-ever movie.

After Ray Stevenson passed away in Italy early into the production of the Paramount and Republic Pictures film Cassino in Ischia, a new actor for his role has been found. In late May, filming had been halted when Stevenson fell ill on the set, dying soon after at a local hospital. It wasn't clear at the time how much of the film Stevenson had shot before his passing, but now it's been revealed that his role has been recast, and presumably his scenes will be reshot with the new actor. Per Deadline, Dominic Purcell has boarded the cast to take over Steven's role with production now getting back underway in Italy.
Per the report, Purcell is playing the lead role of Nic Cassino, a "former action star who is knocked off his perch by the next generation of action heroes. In an attempt to revive his career, he travels to...

Director Uwe Boll has made a lot of terrible films in his career. I lot of people despise him, but he also has a loyal fan base that loves him. He’s definitely one of the wildest outspoken filmmakers out there that likes to say a lot of crazy things and he’s known for having meltdowns. He has no filter when he talks and some people admire that about him.
Boll is credited with directing 32 projects, produced over 50, has written 19 films. Some of these films include BloodRayne, Rampage: President Down, In the Name of the King: The Last Job, Suddenly, Assault on Wall Street, Blubberella, Far Cry, German Fried Movie, Attack on Darfur, Postal, The House of the Dead, and Alone in the Dark.
He’s certainly an interesting and controversial individual and now there’s a documentary that’s been made that will tell his story. The documentary...
