After the massive success of Stranger Things, Netflix is delving back into ’80s culture for another of its upcoming projects. It’s developing a live-action movie based on the classic arcade game Dragon’s Lair (which the Stranger Things kids actually play in the show’s second season).

Netflix says it’s in talks with Ryan Reynolds, who has worked on a couple of other flicks for the company, to produce and star as Dirk the Daring. As in the game, the knight will go on a quest to save Princess Daphne from the aforementioned dragon. Daniel and Kevin Hageman — who count The Lego Movie, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and an upcoming animated Star Trek series among their credits — are writing the script.
