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!

They're in Waterdeep. Doesn't Waterdeep have statues which can animate?

Yes, but none of them are dragons. They're also colossally huge.

EDIT: The only one that's not humanoid is the Griffon. The others are the God Catcher, the Sahuagin Humbled, the Great Drunkard, the Lady Dreaming, the Honorable Knight, the Hawk Man, and the Sword Maiden (which is in pieces).

Either that or any level 6+ paladin. Sweet sweet save bonuses

I took the context of that clip to be more like "Man, he's a scary/ruthless/vicious killer ... I'm glad he's on our side ..."

Observations and speculations from certain moments that caught my attention

0:19 - The river running through the city locks this in as Neverwinter, not Waterdeep (I guessed wrong on that)
0:45 - Is that Zas Tam holding the Horn of Orcus as the "wrong person we helped get the wrong thing"?
0:54 - Planning your next move over a drink
0:56 - Spine of the World?
1:15 - That owlbear is just amazing
1:29 - Underdark?
1:42 - That Mimic is great!
1:46 - Pause on that displacer beast. Looks goooood
2:08 - Making plans that fail is what D&D is all about!

If this movie has under a $180M budget, I'd be shocked. There are a lot of diverse locations and sets here, and the CGI looks mostly great for still being 7 months away from release.

Edit: Also, 300k views in 2 hours!

There is the harper pin!

Hidden in the open.

In my experience, Harpers aren't very good at keeping their affiliation secret.

EDIT: I guess that's why they're generally referred to as a semi-secret organisation.

In my gaming experience, Harpers aren't very good at keeping their affiliation secret.

In all my gaming I've NEVER seen a harper.......

Oh, and since he's playing a bard. Note that Chris Pine can sing...

Just heard that on the panel the cast confirmed that the cast of Critical Role will have cameos in the movie. Smart choice!

Yes, it does look good, but I hope we see an nice presentation of its displacement effect; not really seeing it in that shot.

I notice that the tiefling has a tail as they jump into the cube!
