D&D Movie/TV Here's The D&D Movie Trailer!

"Who needs heroes when you have thieves?" The movie arrives March 3rd, 2023. Here's the trailer! When they said it was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, they weren't kidding! We have dragons, owlbears, mimics, gelatinous cubes, quips, and more!



There was also a clip shown at San Diego Comic Con where the party cast speak with dead, and got to ask five questions. Also, apparently, the D&D cartoon characters from the 80s have a cameo!

 

[Bolares]

I am lost on to why you see this as so good exactly?

Because druids are fun?

 

[Chaosmancer]

I am excited!

I love that they jump INTO the gelatinous cube to avoid the displacer beast.

Yeah in a couple scenes. In the upside down unleashing the evil horn thing and they're fighting one at the end who teleports around the battlefield. (Maybe the same one)

Also speaking of that evil horn. Is it an existing piece of D&D lore?


Looks like more like a copper dragon to me. Plus I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a bad guy. I think they'll stay on brand for that.

"Greatest evil the world has known" combined with seeing at least three dragons on screen? It could be a play on the orbs of dragonkind, which means the dragon is being mind-controlled?

Earlier in the trailer we see a dragon statue that looks just like it…

Looks way smaller to me than the version we see later, but shrug hard to tell from a 1 second clip at a cinematic angle

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Anyone else see a Red Wizard of Thay?

Yep.

 

[Lidgar]

This is how I like my D&D. Campy, bordering on the ridiculous, with plenty of weird monsters and action. Trailer at least ticks the boxes.

Oh, and they got the soundtrack right too....

 

[This Effin’ GM]

Looks way smaller to me than the version we see later, but shrug hard to tell from a 1 second clip at a cinematic angle

My money is on “the statue is of a great dragon protector of the realm” and later it is revealed that Hugh grant is said dragon. I refuse to let go of my Hugh grant theory

 

[Demetrios1453]

From just a quick sneak look on my phone while at work, that looks... pretty good!

I love the choice of a black dragon rather than your typical fire-breathing red dragon (although it looks like we get that too). And of course seeing classic D&D monsters like owlbears and gelatinous cubes is awesome (as is seeing a druid transform into the former!). And yeah, it does look like Michelle Rodriguez is playing a (non-stereotypical) dwarf.

Will watch it again when I get more time to really dig into it...

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Also anyone else notice the super chunky red dragon? Making me remember Out of the Abyss and Themberchaud now

I think that is Themberchaud.

 

[OB1]

Was that the Horn of Orcus that the Thay wizard had?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

"so you make plans that fail?"

I'm pretty sure my group can empathise with that.
