“Muppets Most Wanted” director James Bobin is reportedly in talks to direct “Dragon’s Lair,” the upcoming Netflix live-action film adaptation of the iconic 1983 arcade game.

At last report back in 2022, Dan and Kevin Hageman (“The Lego Movie,” “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”) were tapped to write the script for the project, which took nearly a year of negotiations to come together at the streamer.

The original game followed a knight named Dirk the Daring who must rescue the fetching Princess Daphne from the clutches of the evil dragon known as Singe and the wizard Mordroc.
