The 'Dungeons and Dragons' movie dropped a trailer at Comic-Con featuring Regé-Jean Page, Chris Pine and the gelatinous cube.

I believe that’s why the Jonathans thought of me for this.” Grant will play a rogue named Forge Fletcher. The movie is based on the popular tabletop role-playing game that allows players to create their own wizards, fighters, monks and other heroes to take on all kinds of fantastical beasts, trolls, necromancers and countless more. “[It’s] one game that should be played in every single high school in the nation,” Pine said. “I know a little something about escapist fantasy that gives you no limits.” The screenplay is written by Goldstein, Daley and Michael Gilio from Gilio’s story with Chris McKay. The project is being produced by Jeremy Latcham (who was also in attendance), Brian Goldner and Nick Meyer, with executive producers Denis L. Stewart, Goldstein, Daley, Pine, Zev Foreman and Greg Mooradian. “I wasn’t a big ‘D&D’-er, but my nephew, who’s 13, is a huge player,” Pine said, who plays Edgin in the film. “I think role-playing games are awesome and more people should do them.” Pine described the movie as having “a Spielbergian energy to it,” while Grant said it has a “Monty Python vibe.” “It slowly snowballed and three hours in, you forgot that you didn’t want to.” The filmmakers worked with game publisher Wizards of the Coast to ensure the lore was on point. They encounter all manner of fantastical creatures — and Page, as a rakish paladin who (seemingly) joins their quest. Chris Pine — donning chin-length blonde hair — Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Sophia Lillis and Hugh Grant took the stage to rapturous applause.

Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez give the San Diego Comic-Con crowd a first look at their fantasy film "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves."

"It was an amazing thing to see my whole family light up in that way.” And Rodriguez gained 10 pounds of muscle and drank a bunch of protein shakes to play Holga. Filmmakers debuted one clip showing Pine's lute-playing Edgin, Rodriguez's Holga and their group on a quest and having to dig up a bunch of dead soldiers with mixed results, while another had the heroes facing an angry panther with magical tentacles, a dangerous gelatinous cube and other beasts in a maze.

However, at San Diego Comic-Con, Paramount is giving audiences their first look at the long in-the-works film. Rather than a darkly serious fantasy adaptation, this instead reads like a buddy heist movie filled with recognizable monsters. Stuck in development for much of the last decade, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a forthcoming film based on the tabletop role-playing game and cultural phenomenon — and until this week, that’s kind of all anyone knew.

Chris Pine revealed plot details for the Dungeons & Dragons movie at San Diego Comic-Con, comparing it to a mashup of other fantasy shows and films.

Much is still unknown about the film, but with reassurance and excitement from the cast and Daley and Goldstein leading the film with their industry knowledge and respect for Dungeons & Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves looks to be on track to bring a blockbuster to its passionate fans. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure." Pushed off to accommodate the release of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and then again due to COVID-19, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is set to release on March 3, 2023.

'Dungeons and Dragons' Comic-Con panel reveals crucial new ... (Inverse)

At the first Comic-Con panel in Hall H since 2019, Paramount brought the goods with the trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves from Paramount ...

The first involved the main characters digging up graves and using Speak with the Dead, a popular spell from Dungeons & Dragons in which the dead can be temporarily resurrected and asked five questions before dying again. The second scene, an action set-piece, had the characters compete in an arena maze with a loose displacer beast (a humongous black wildcat that can project illusions) and a mimic that targets Rodriguez’s barbarian. And a good time is what all games of D&D are about. The two scenes previewed at Comic-Con gave audiences a glimpse at two of the most important things one could ask for in a Dungeons & Dragons movie: character and action. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is shaping up to be a critical hit. Pine told a disarmingly touching story about how the game allowed his family to open up in ways he hadn’t seen before.

Stop Everything, Footage of Chris Pine, Regé-Jean Page in D&D ... (The Mary Sue)

We have footage from 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' and I need whatever Chris Pine and Regé-Jean Page are serving.

Pair that with the use of Led Zeppelin’s “Who Lotta Love” and this is a movie that was made for me despite the fact that, again, I don’t really know D&D that much. The footage does a great job though, in my opinion, of giving us a sense of the tone of the film. We get to see Chris Pine with a lute, though, and Regé-Jean Page with a little dagger, and suddenly my lack of knowledge on Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t seem to matter anymore and this is now the movie I am most excited for.
