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!

C’mon… don’t be THAT person

Eh I'm just nitpicking. Movie looks like fun. Maybe see it with my gaming group instead of play D&D one weekend.

A billion worse ways to spend your time for sure!

Okay, yeah, I'm hyped.

It looks like they're trying to make a D&D movie, for once, rather than a fantasy film with a lil' D&D sprinkled in.

The last few seconds won me over.

That's Neverwinter, not Waterdeep.

Edit: The cityscape we see twice doesn't quite match Neverwinter, either. But it's much closer than Waterdeep, which, for one thing, doesn't have a river running through it.

It's not like the depictions of either city has been entirely consistent.

Interesting. Too early to tell if it's going to be good or not. The plot they share in the trailer seems a bit cliche, but this is just the trailer and it is pretty standard for a D&D adventure. Most of the CGI looked good. I kind of wish that some of the party looked more non-Human, because I think a live-action Tiefling or Dragonborn adventurer could be awesome.

I'm definitely seeing the movie when it comes out. I'll probably go with my D&D group. I'll wait until then to give further judgment.

I thought people were more into “role playing” now instead of “roll playing”.

"Roleplaying" doesn't mean "adhering to every stereotype associated with your class". And classes now typically don't dictate how to roleplay your character. Paladins don't have alignment restrictions anymore, Lawful Good characters can worship/be warlocks to Chaotic Evil Gods/Patrons, and so on.

The druid is a tiefling, look for the horns.

Michelle Rodriguez' character may be a dwarf, although I don't think that's been confirmed.

For a lot of us, "class" is a mechanical too for building characters, nothing more.

The barbarian in my current game is a lawyer with anger management issues.

Anyhow... this looks legitimately good. It feels like they nailed the tone. Is Pine coming off a bit Nathan Fillion these days, or is that just me?

 

[Bagpuss]

Seems to hit the tone of A Knight's Tale, with that backing track to the trailer, but that could be just trailer thing (I really hope it isn't).
