We have "Strongholds and Followers".
And the paladin Regé-Jean Page.

I hope you don't mind I saved a copy of that castle to use as my laptop's background screen?

Those banners are they Faerun related or more to do with the castle itself rather than the movie being filmed?

 

[NotAYakk]

I like the safety railings.

 

[Professor Murder]

Ive been to Alnwick. Its a cool castle to tour.

One of them contains the neverwinter crest (iirc they represent the 3 bridges). I don't recognize the other symbol, but it contains the same symbol in the middle so it's safe to assume it's related to either neverwinter or neverember IMO.

Difficult to judge, I just hope that everything gets "rougher" in post-production. Like, those banners are too NEW, the armor in the second picture looks like cosplay, and so on.

I know I should probably not even mention it, but LotR was 20 years ago, could we hope for at least that kind of quality for what concerns costumes and props?

Given the various hints about a certain actor may be playing a Paladin could it be related to a church like Amaunator?
EDIT: Found it!

Given the various hints about a certain actor may be playing a Paladin could it be related to a church like the sun god one whose name I forget but I know in another setting might be called Pelor?

It kind of looks like someone combined a stylized version of Amaunator's holy symbol with the symbol of one of the bridges of Neverwinter.

 

[hopeless]

I'm seriously way out of date with the Forgotten Realms!

 

[wicked cool]

any thoughts on the shaved head person? goliath? shadow enity of some kind (clearly they need a new cloak)

im getting a original D&D movie vibe based on that.

Zhentarim would be my guess. Yeah, I had the same reaction... but I am going to judge the movie on the finished product. Post-production and SFX can add a lot to a movie nowadays.

My guess is they're a Thayan citizen or agent of some sort (if not a red wizard themselves). They certainly have the bald head tattoo gimmick going for them.

 

[NotAYakk]

Unless this is a portal fantasy, that shot looks like someone doing a dress rehearsal for a fight with the jean-clad trainer.

 

[hopeless]

I originally wondered if that was Pine then wondered if they got Ryan Reynolds over for a training bout!
The Zhentarim dress style but the bald tattoo look makes them look more Thayan doesn't mean they can't be a Zhent though.

They might be both. I remember mention of someone being a secret agent of Thay within the plot, though I do imagine it'd be hard to hide one's allegiance to Thay with large Thayan face tattoos.

D&D’s aesthetic isn’t exactly gritty.

At least not the Forgotten Realms. It'd be one thing if this was a Greyhawk movie, a setting which draws more heavily on the sword and sorcery genre, but the Forgotten Realms is very much a heroic fantasy setting.

The bald guy with the sword looks like straight out of the third D&D movie
