Netflix Garners DRAGON’S LAIR Rights, Ryan Reynolds to Star and Produce

March 28, 2020 Off By Michael Stagno

After years of negotiations, Netflix has (finally) acquired the rights to the popular 80s arcade game, Dragon’s Lair, with Ryan Reynolds attached, and will serve as a live-action adaptation feature.

The iconic 1980s arcade game centers on Dirk the Daring, who is tasked with rescuing Princess Daphne from a wizard (Mordroc) and an evil dragon, Singe. The game debuted across arcades in 1983, revolutionized the industry and propelled to being the most-popular game in America.

Reynolds had a big 2019 and is gearing up for an even bigger 2020. He recently wrapped on Free Guy and has two upcoming sequels, Deadpool 3 and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, as well as a role in Clue and A Christmas Carol.

The Don Ruth Presents Dragon’s Lair Trilogy, which includes all three arcade classics, Dragon’s Lair, Dragon’s Lair 2: Time Warp and Dragon’s Lair 3: Space Ace, is currently available on Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
