As San Diego Comic Con kicks in high gear after a three year in-person hiatus, Dungeons & Dragons was the first film out the gate to invade Hall H with behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive trailer.
Speaking of which, actors Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Sophia Lillis and Hugh Grant were on board to promote the film, and I have to say before I clicked on the trailer I was skeptical about the film, because the last cinematic attempt at a D&D film was no bueno.
However, after watching the new trailer I was quite impressed. For the record I know absolutely nothing about D&D because it wasn't a game I played as a kid.
The trailer features Pine (as a bard), Rodriguez (as a barbarian), Justice Smith (as a sorcerer) and Lillis (as a druid) as a band of thieves attempting to rectify a mistake that unleashed a great evil upon their land. They encounter all manner of fantastical creatures — and Page, as a rakish paladin who (seemingly) joins their quest.
Tonally this version is giving me Game of Thrones vibes (but not as heavy), and as a fan of the hit HBO series and all the fantasy elements inntne trailer, I'll definitely check this film out in the theater.
Dungeons & Dragons hits theaters in March 3, 2023.
