In a conversation with Collider, Smith said:

[Goldstein and Daley are] incredible. They’re so funny and they have such clear vision. I loved Game Night. That movie is so good and so funny. And it’s such a clear, specific story. It doesn’t try and be anything that it’s not. I think they approached this the same way. I can’t spoil too much but it’s action-packed, thrilling, funny as hell… it’s all of the things and yet it has a clear idea. That specificity is key in storytelling and John and Jonathan do that so well, being like, "This is the story we’re telling but they’re making it enjoyable the entire time." This is me not trying to spoil the movie in any regards. I’ve given away no details.

The movie, which also stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Hugh Grant, and Sophia Lillis, is scheduled for March 3rd, 2023.

It could be fun and funny like Guardians of the Galaxy. There is a story and plot, but has some one-liners due to character and not just fart jokes, which has their place.

But if it's a D&D movie it needs the fart jokes.

I still really hope they have a character die early on only for the group to find another character played by the same actor who, without much reason at all, also joins the party.

Oh he's got plenty of reason.

I'm Fred, brother of Ted, and I'm here to avenge him.

In a certain sort of movie, it would be funny to cycle through a series of identical Bob I, Bob II, BobIII characters, each of whom dies horribly and/or pointlessly.

A good gag, but I'd save it for OSR: The Movie.

Yes, or a character who randomly disappeares for a bit (due to missing the session) then pops back up with no one mentioning it.

Or I guess in the online era someone who keeps losing voice connection or everything they speak has a ton of background noise coming in with their lines.

It’s weird how precious some gamers are about adaptations.

Why pretend this isn’t true?

There is a place for humor in D&D games, movies, comics, etc.

Thankfully, I have not had a single D&D group descend into Monty Python's Holy Grail since junior high. Even back then, it did not go over well and the group broke up rather than continue to play with the DM.

I really hope it isn't silly, and isn't like a ttrpg. I want a fantasy movie, sure, a bit of humor is good, but I'm interested in a movie with a tone like Willow (but more fantastic).

Or wandering through the dungeon, staring at their smartphone.

Good lord no. We aren’t all frat boys.
