In a conversation with Collider, Smith said:

[Goldstein and Daley are] incredible. They’re so funny and they have such clear vision. I loved Game Night. That movie is so good and so funny. And it’s such a clear, specific story. It doesn’t try and be anything that it’s not. I think they approached this the same way. I can’t spoil too much but it’s action-packed, thrilling, funny as hell… it’s all of the things and yet it has a clear idea. That specificity is key in storytelling and John and Jonathan do that so well, being like, "This is the story we’re telling but they’re making it enjoyable the entire time." This is me not trying to spoil the movie in any regards. I’ve given away no details.

The movie, which also stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Hugh Grant, and Sophia Lillis, is scheduled for March 3rd, 2023.

Hopefully they didnt rely too much on the funny part. Humor sprinkled in here and there is good but if this is an action packed comedy that has me a little apprehensive. "Funny as hell" is relative depending on who you ask, so we'll see.

Cautiously optimistic. Goldstein and Daley can write a good ensemble flick, but they are usually screw ball comedies. Im not saying I need a D&D movie to be utterly serious, I just don't want another Your Highness.

Remember that time they tried to add humor to a D&D movie and cast Marlon Wayans?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I would love..."Your Highness Too" or "To Highness". That movie was great, my buddy got a crappy haircut shortly after it came out, even his wife was making fun of him. We called him Courtney for years.

Best part of the movie was Snails demise.

It’s weird how precious some gamers are about adaptations.

Why pretend this isn’t true?

There is a place for humor in D&D games, movies, comics, etc.

That said, assuming that there is some kind of McLaughlin Group scale of fantasy humor where Monty Python & The Holy Grail is a 10, The Princess Bride is a strong 9, Shrek a hard 8, and Army of Darkness is 7, and Your Highness is a weak 1, I would put The Unmentionable Marlon Wayans Movie That Was Pruned (Thank The Gods) as a solid 1.5.

and Your Highness is a weak 1

As I said earlier, humor is realative to the observer.

Exactly so.
