D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Cast Plays A Game Of D&D!

Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Sophia Lillis, and Justice Smith played a one-shot, two-hour game of D&D before shooting started on the movie. The 30-second video, posted by Paramount Pictures, doesn't actually show the game, but the cast comments on the experience.

Since they obviously recorded it, I would wager we'll see it eventually, even if it is a DVD bonus or heck maybe during some re-release add a showing of the game. Clearly they seemed to enjoy it

Maybe. Or maybe we just saw the salvageable seconds of a terribly unentertaining session.

My guess is that is was probably mostly just a little on the awkward side, as games with a new group with new players often are. Probably enjoyable enough for super fans who buy the blu-ray, but probably not engaging enough content to be deemed good marketing.

The actors have spoken about the session quite a bit, all favorably. Those that hadn't played before said it was like acting class.

Cool. I still think that if it was compelling viewing it would have been released by now. And a D&D session can certainly be a ton of fun without being a good viewing experience. Heck, it might just have technical issues like poor sound quality on their remote DM or something.

What’s a D. V. D.?

The last means by which future generations will be able to see what media we consumed before the Second Dark Age ; so named for the absolute dearth of information preserved after that time.

I mean... technically, even a d v d requires another machine with it's own set of standards to access the information contained therein. Books were the last non technology intermediated medium (not counting those who need reading glasses )
