The legendary roleplaying game is set up to make its big screen debut with a star-studded cast. This is probably a dream come true for many D&D addicts eagerly awaiting its release in March.
The movie’s cast includes Hugh Grant, Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, and more A-list actors. With a playful touch, directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley aim to bring the universe of the famous roleplaying game to life. March 8 marks the debut of a brand-new trailer before its March 30 exclusive theatre release.
The trailer leaves viewers wanting more with its glimpse of the red dragon Themberchaud having the most epic stand-off with the unusual group of thieves looking for redemption after being tricked by the Red Wizard.
The promotion for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has intensified thanks to media appearances and interviews from stars Hugh Grant, Michelle Rodriguez, and Chris Pine recently. This weekend’s SXSW premiere of the film should indicate whether or not it will be a success with viewers.
Although the movie will utilize the Dungeons & Dragons setting of the Forgotten Realms and will be generally authentic to the game rules, one thing viewers can be sure of is that there won’t be any actual Dungeons & Dragons being played in the movie; maximum reference that can be drawn would probably be a playful mention of the game.
The movie is expected to do very well, considering the game’s massive popularity among most Americans. Furthermore, the covid lockdown hyped it among the children, thus drawing viewers for the movie from all age groups.
