Though I was never one of the folks who played the classic “Dungeons and Dragons” role-playing game, I sure did enjoy the animated series with the same name and some of the toys that were released around that time. The game itself is still mega-popular so a live-action film featuring characters one might find in such adventuring makes sense. The first Official Trailer was recently released by Paramount Pictures and I’ve got that and more for you down below.
The Premise: A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers embark on an epic quest to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.
The Cast/Characters:
Chris Pine as Edgin the Bard
Michelle Rodriguez as Holga the Barbarian
Regé-Jean Page as Xenk the Paladin
Justice Smith as Simon the Sorcerer

Daisy Head as a Red Wizard of Thay
PiercingMetal Thoughts: I have to say that this one looks interesting and since I like a few of the actors involved I will likely see this when it opens in the theaters but at this point in time I cannot exactly say when that might be. Truth be told I was hoping for and expecting a more animated series version brought to real life in this but alas twas not to be. 2023 will be a good year for these kinds of films as the Ant-Man film gets released along with the third Guardians Of The Galaxy which I will be checking out as well. We have a lot of time to wait on this one but I will keep tabs on trailer reveals and promotional artwork since I love posting that stuff. See you next time and please remember to stay safe this summer. I don’t think we are out of the woods yet but that is how I feel about it all after working in COVID safety for a few months. Chime in down below if you like because we always enjoy having your input on the site as well if you have something topical to add to the mix.
