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!

I love, it looks exactly like what I'd want from a D&D movie.

Sure, but that still doesn’t explain why the river—which, decades after the disaster, is still shown on several recent maps (and in the still-active MMO) as flowing to the south of Castle Never—suddenly has started flowing to the castle’s north instead.

Perhaps that clip was accidentally mirrored?

Regardless, the video below makes it clear it's meant to be Neverwinter (skip ahead to about 18:10):

Very common in trailers, not always an accident either.

Go watch the original Fellowship of the ring trailer, several scenes are mirrored. Part of the editing decision making process for making a trailer.

Besides watching Chris Perkins DM, I also enjoy hearing Chris Perkins speak about D&D as I can tell he cares deeply about the lore and history of D&D.

Movie looks good. No Beholders guarding a cave entrance. It is unabashedly a D&D movie with all the different monsters popping up and FR NPCs. I loved seeing a black dragon puking acid all over the dwarves. I wonder if the bad guys at the end are Thayans or Shadar-Kai?

There's at least one Thayan lich in the film. His design reminds me of this guy from Dead in Thay:

In that video posted earlier upthread Perkins said Waterdeep was the biggest city on Faerun I seem to recall reading in the Empires of the Shining Sea boxed set or Calimport book around 1998 that Calimport was the biggest city, anyone else recall this?

Ooh, and it comes out on my wedding anniversary! ...Okay, I don't think I'll be watching this on its opening day, then - but soon afterwards for sure!
