It’s been almost eleven years since the last Dungeons & Dragons live-action film culminated with a direct-to-DVD release. Regardless, the long-running tabletop RPG franchise is getting a cinematic fresh start in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. You don’t necessarily need to know anything about D&D to enjoy the film. And in the newest trailer, it seems to leaning a bit heavier on comedy than adventure.
Chris Pine headlines the film as Edgin the Bard, the leader of a rogue band of mercenaries. As Edgin explains the trailer, he and his friends were tricked into helping Forge Fitzwilliam (Hugh Grant) gain an object of incredible power. However, they now have the unenviable task of stopping Forge’s evil plans before they face certain doom.
