Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves featurette introduces the characters

Yesterday, Paramount Pictures unveiled a batch of character posters for the upcoming live-action film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise and is set to reach theatres on March 31st. Those posters showed us that Chris Pine is playing The Bard, Michelle Rodriguez is The Barbarian, Justice Smith is The Sorcerer, Sophia Lillis is The Druid, Regé-Jean Page is The Paladin, Hugh Grant is The Rogue, and Daisy Head is The Wizard. Now a Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves featurette has arrived online to introduce these characters to us and reveal that their names are Edgin, Holga, Simon, Doric, Xenk, Forge, and Sofina. So if you want to see and hear more about these characters, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley from a script they crafted with Michael Gilio (who shares story credit with The Tomorrow War and Renfield director Chris McKay), Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves follows a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers as they embark on an epic quest to retrieve a lost relic. Things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

In addition to the actors mentioned above, the film also stars Chloe Coleman and Jason Wong.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was produced by Jeremy Latcham, Brian Goldner, and Nick Meyer, with Goldstein, Daley, and Pine serving as executive producers alongside Denis L. Stewart, Zev Foreman, and Greg Mooradian.

Aside from sharing source material, this movie isn’t connected to the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie, which earned the Awfully Good treatment and spawned a couple of sequels (2005’s Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God and 2012’s Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness). But Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves isn’t the only Dungeons & Dragons project in the works at Paramount. They are also developing a Dungeons & Dragons TV series that will run on the Paramount+ streaming service. Eight episodes have already been ordered. Red Notice writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber has written the script for the pilot episode, which he will also be directing.
