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!

It does have a Guardians of the Galaxy feel. I approve!

It was really their only choice.

Was that a %#%#% owlbear? Was that really a mother#%#%# owlbear? Because this movie just went from "meh" to putting my hairy gamer butt into a movie theater seat!

It wasn't just a random owlbear either, it was a druid breaking the rules and wildshaping into one.

All the poor DMs when this releases in March who are going to have to adjust to the new normal. lol

I wonder if in the movie they will say it is a special ability granted by her Tiefling blood?

Things to keep in mind:

The movie's not out for a year. They're likely still working on things like sound, editing, and especially SFX. Lines may be re-dubbed, scenes cut, and the effects cleaned up. Trailer editors also like to make jokes in the edit by splicing together two unrelated lines to sound like a set-up and punchline. Which isn't to say the tone of this won't be light (they said early on they were going for a Guardians of the Galaxy feel and that's definitely the tone of the trailer), but just in general never trust a trailer when it comes to dialogue. It's also highly unlikely that the song in the trailer is meant to be in the movie anywhere and is just there for the trailer.

The movie's not out for a year.

7 1/2 months. But still plenty of time to fine tune stuff or even do limited reshoots.

 

[Reynard]

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

How would you know unless you swung at it?

 

[GreyLord]

I'm not so sure how I feel about the trailer.

It isn't...impressive???

Mixed comments from others that I've seen online as well (from those who are NOT rabid D&D fans that is).

Some calling it a copycat for Marvel (that's not necessarily a BAD thing...but if people FEEL it's a copycat rather than authentic, that may be).

Others still remembering the old D&D films of the past and confusing this with them.

Others liking what they see.

It could be fun, I'm not sure what I think of it thus far.

So. The reveal must have went well.
