With love for Dungeons and Dragons at an all-time high — perhaps the highest since its inception thanks toStranger Thingsand the rise of TTRPG actual play series' likeCritical Role&Dimension 20— Paramount is seizing every opportunity to hype fans up for the upcoming D&D movie,Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Today, in addition to abrand new posterfor the film, fans are being treated to a thrilling new featurette.
In the new featurette, we get a behind-the-scenes look at how Paramount is bringing the beloved tabletop game to the big screen. The footage features insight from the whole cast on how each of the members of this adventuring party filled with misfits is set to go on their own hero’s journey. We also get our first real look at some of the D&D creatures that will be featured in the movie including dragons, trolls, owlbears, and even a mimic.
The film follows an adventuring party made up (obviously) of thieves, who “helped the wrong person steal the wrong thing.” Now in order to save the world the merry band of misfits must steal the item back and right their wrongs on the adventure of a lifetime. Writer and directorJohn Francis Daleyhas confirmed thatHonor Among Thieveswill be filled to the brim with D&D spells, tropes, and fun easter eggs. Meanwhile, starChris Pinehas described the movie as a cross betweenGame of Thrones,Princess Bride,Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and everyone’s favorite 80’s classic,The Goonies— which is a combination I personally can’t wait to see.
