'Dungeons and Dragons': Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez pictured on location

Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez share a laugh on the deck of a boat in new pictures from the set of Dungeons And Dragons.

The pair were joined by co-star Justice Smith to film scenes inside the harbour off Carrickfergus Castle in Northern Ireland.

The cast enjoyed the sunshine as they filmed the outdoor scenes for the fantasy-adventure film, based on the role-playing game of the same name.

The movie also stars Hugh Grant and Regé-Jean Page, as well as Daisy Head, Chloe Coleman and Sophia Lillis.

Coleman was photographed in a gold dress, seeking shade under a large umbrella on a break between shots.

The script for the film has been written by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who will also serve as directors. Production began in April 2021 in Iceland before moving to Northern Ireland.

The film will be released in cinemas in March 2023 by eOne and Paramount Pictures.

The game has been adapted for the screen several times in the past, with Jeremy Irons starring in a 2000 movie of the same name. Two straight-to-DVD sequels followed. A popular animated TV series was produced in the 1980s, and ran for three series.
