The D&D movie is currently filming at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland. A number of onlookers have posted photos from the set on Twitter, as has Newcastle's The Chronicle. Check the link for lots more! Alnwick was built in 1309, and has been used in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, amongst other...

The audience has to be convinced. And doing that when everyone going in knows he will be the villain makes that suspension of disbelief a lot harder. I am trying to think of any recent movies or TV shows where they actually succeeded in making the announced villain actor not seem like a villain from the first moment they appear on-screen.

It doesn't matter if the audience know who the villain is.

The Phantom Menace has an audience know who the villain is from the start, but the protagonists never find out.

Also, Columbo.

And Paddington 2.

Not sure how I feel about a Dungeons & Dragons movie being reported in the Daily Mail. Just feels....different.

This is what winning the culture war looks like.

Ah! Eureka! Grant’s character is fulfilling the “NPC benefactor who betrays them,” trope.
Now all we need is a ensemble character Did you clear they’re doing something near impossible when another character tells them the odds are probably 1 in 20.

And of course the character pulls it off.

Meh.

Harrison Ford is doing an independent movie?!? Will wonders never cease!

Will Wonders is now the name of my next half-elf illusionist.

BLASPHEMER! This is Mr Roper
View attachment 138256

no! Roper is a tentacle-bearing rock creature found in caves frequently eating adventures. Sure sure, the roper avoids intimacy and dislikes it when adventurers come in unmarried gender-mixed parties.

And will often hilariously misinterpret things it might overhear the adventurers saying...

You guys are going to ruin ropers ... for my players.

Ropers usually think the muscle-bound guy with a huge sword and wearing only ornamental leather armor is gay.

After LotR & GoT, my expectations for production values are high....so hopefully that costume will look awesome in context, rather than how it looks in the cold light of day, next to the PA's car. That said, Hugh Grants' expression suggests rue was on the lunch menu.
