After the disappointing 2000 adaptation of the classic table role play, Dungeons and Dragons, it seemed like the Forgotten Realms would never get their well-deserved Hollywood highlight. However, just like a cleric who casts True Resurrection on his Doom Party, it looks like the new Dungeons and Dragons movie will rectify the cinematic mistakes of the past. In a recent interview with Collider, actor Justice Smith has hinted that the upcoming fantasy film won’t disappoint.
Written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the duo behind the 2018 action flick Game Night, the new Dungeons and Dragons movie is one of the most anticipated films for gamers and fantasy enthusiasts alike. With production filming recently wrapped up and now slated for 2023, many fans have questioned whether the film would finally be able to deliver a killer flick – or grope like the infamous 2000s movie starring Jeremy Irons.
While promoting his new thriller, The Voyeurs, Smith said fans shouldn’t be so worried about the latest D&D film, praising its storytelling, hinting at action-packed entertainment and confirming that the movie is “funny as hell”.
“[Goldstein and Daley are] unbelievable. They are so funny and they have such a clear vision. I loved Game Night. This movie is so good and so funny. And it’s such a clear and precise story. He’s not trying to be something that isn’t. I think they approached it the same way, ”Smith explained. “I can’t spoil too much but it’s action packed, thrilling, funny as hell… that’s it and yet he has a clear idea. That uniqueness is the key to storytelling and John and Jonathan do it so well, saying, “This is the story we’re telling, but they make it enjoyable all the time.” I’m not the one trying to spoil the movie in every way. I gave no details.
We’re curious to see what the next adventure film will look like. Currently, plot details are being kept under wraps and it is not clear whether the film will have an original story or be based on one of the game’s many campaigns. Stay tuned for updates.
The new Dungeons and Dragons movie is slated for release on March 3, 2023. While we wait for more news for the movie, why not try your hand at more fantastic adventures with our list of the best animated movies.
