A new Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves trailer releases and provides a better look at Paramount's movie adaptation of the tabletop role-playing game. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant. Paramount kicked off the film's marketing campaign at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 with the first trailer, but there has been no other trailer released over the last six months.
Now that the movie's release is less than two months away, Paramount has released a new Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves trailer.
The new Dungeons & Dragons trailer provides plenty of new looks at the live-action adaptation of the RPG ahead of the movie's March 31, 2023, release date. It reveals new story details about the film and teases its very comedic tone, making the fantasy story look more like Thor: Ragnarok than Game of Thrones.
PING
As a D&D fan, I’m not really impressed. I think that these type of movies only really work if you are using established and accepted mythologies that people know. I don’t think it works when nothing in the trailer has anything familiar.
I will be surprised if this does well.
It looks like the “white guy” is only there for comedic relief and will need to be constantly saved by his betters: the women and people of color.
Decades ago, I used to hear some strange things about Dungeons and Dragons games. That it was addictive, that it was heavy with satanic symbology and such. This mainly from my radio listening. Paul Harvey and Focus on the Family were quite concerned with the latent power of role playing.
I have since met some of those who grew up playing it in the 1980’s. They don’t give any obvious indication of being souls that have been spiritually soiled. No more than most people.
The version starring Jeremy Irons from 2000 is just downright unwatchable, I’m sorry.
I don’t think this one will be better.
They really need to start with a basic version and then build upon it until they are using advanced rules.
Beyond the Borderkeep might have been a good structure for this movie.
I played D&D in the early-mid 1980s. I’ll let others be the judge of whether or not I’m “spiritually soiled” ...
If it’s not based on “Tomb of Horrors”, I ain’t watching it. That stupid campaign still gives me nightmares and I haven’t touched it since ‘82!
That means it’s going to suck, alot.
looks kind of lame... like who really plays a bard? I’ll still try and see it. Forgotten Realms is cool, but Ping me when DragonLance comes to the big screen.
I’ll stick with the cartoon.
They should make a flick based on Dragonlance Chronicles.
Get a Director that read the books and will hire white people.
No fags or woke BS.
D&D has been Mary Sued?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
FWIW John Francis Daley, one of the directors, also played Sweets on Bones for a number of years.
