‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Trailer Showcases Creatures and Humor [SDCC]

From Paramount and eOne, the upcoming  Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves live-action movie just unveiled its rogue gallery of characters and monsters in a brand new trailer that debuted at its San Diego Comic-Con panel.

The new trailer leans into the comedy, promising an epic adventure with creatures, magic, and humor. Think a buddy comedy with fantastical monsters over serious fantasy, with a whole lot of dragons.

The Dungeons & Dragons movie will release in theaters in March 2023.

The film follows “a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure.”

The film features an original story but is set in the Forgotten Realms, an iconic fantasy setting central to the Dungeons & Dragons game franchise and beyond.

The cast is impressive; Chris Pine stars alongside Michelle Rodriguez (Resident Evil), Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Hugh Grant, and Sophia Lillis (It, It Chapter Two, Gretel & Hansel). Each of them will take on an iconic class featured within the realm of Dungeons & Dragons. Pine, for example, takes on the Bard, and Lillis represents the Druid, a magical entity with the ability to transform into an OwlBear.

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, co-directors of 2018’s hilarious comedy Game Night and writers of Spider-Man: Homecoming, are directing.

Goldstein and Francis Daley also wrote the script.

Designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons was first published in 1974. Between 2000 and 2012, three Dungeons & Dragons films were released. Dungeons & Dragons was first adapted to theaters in 2000 and starred Jeremy Irons and Thora Birch.
