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.

Yeah, humor here an there is good, but an action packed comedy? No, thanks. I enjoyed both the Princess Bride and The Gamers, but they are not what I want in a D&D movie. If the movie is an action packed comedy, I hope it bombs.

He looks trustworthy!

Good lord no. We aren’t all frat boys.

As a long ago frat boy, neither do I.....

"Action-comedy" is how I'd describe most of my favourite sessions of D&D. I see no reason to pre-emptively dislike a D&D movie just because it's funny.

Not to get your hopes up, but the writers do comedy ensemble flicks for a living.

I don't want a DnD session. I want a fantasy movie. Those are two very different things.

I know which is why I have no intention to see it.

But both can have a good dose of humour in them. And ultimately, it is a D&D movie. If it's nothing like D&D, what's the point of it being a D&D movie?

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.

Even when I was 14 I never had a D&D game play out anything like that.

But if it's a D&D movie it needs the fart jokes.

No.
