“We tried to do it with sensitive feeling, but we were turned away,” Grant joked about Ang Lee film’s fairground attempt. Today, the team features co-directors and scribes Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley and producer Jeremy Latcham.

In fact, Grant’s playboy past became fodder for some of the jokes in the discussion.

About why Grant decided to get on board Dungeons & Dragons, “I think he mixed it up with S&M,” says Rodriguez.

“She’s not wrong,” said Grant, playing along, “I’ve been an avid dungeon master for many years … it’s a British pastime.”

At the end of the session, a boy asked the actors what props they wanted to bring home from the set.

While Rodriguez answered her ax, for Grant it was “the fish covered in KY jelly.”

Goldstein said: “Hugh, remember it was a kid asking the question.

Grant went on to joke, “In a couple of years, I’ll always bring home a few extras – additional outfits.”

The big boom that emerges from the panel is the photo’s first trailer plus two action-packed clips. (See the trailer above.)

The diary entry for the photo follows producer Lacham, who kept it bright: “There are a lot of missions in the movie; the group is looking for (a solution) to the problem they are facing. “

The trailer goes even further: “We’re a team of thieves, when you do this you’re bound to make a grudge, and sometimes those enemies seek revenge,” said Pine’s main fighter. . He added: “We helped the wrong person steal the wrong thing and commit a great crime.

“We need courage, magic and you,” Pine’s boy told Lillis. She is a character that has the ability to transform into an animal, specifically an owl in this case.

Goldstein teased about what fans can expect in the movie as well in the game, saying, “There are characters from Lore that will also provide a runway for multiple movies.”

The filmmakers told Hall H that they are lifelong fans of the game. Goldstein played from the age of 10, witnessing his character being killed by his brother, who was the dungeon master. Daley began playing during his acting time on Bizarre and eccentric.

Pine didn’t discover the game until he was 42 years old, when the filmmakers sent him a package of D&D games. The Star Trek The actor said he got to know this game through his grandson, who is a huge fan.

“We invited my whole family to play…. It’s been great to see my family light up,” Pine said.

“My father didn’t want to play, and my sister thought it was a pain,” he quips.

“If there’s one game that should be played in every high school, it’s D&D. You can catch a bully and squeeze in a room, and I assure you in 20 minutes, they won’t remember what category you’re from, who their best friend is or who the dog is. They just want to play and have a laugh,” Pine said.

There were 2000 features of the role-playing game Wizards of the Coast, which grossed $34 million worldwide. But Paramount/eOne’s version is a completely different ball game, supplemented and starring. As Grant put it, this movie has “the sensibility of Monty Python”.

The first clip shown shows Pine, Lillis, and Justice Smith’s adventurers at a battlefield graveyard as they interrogate corpses, search for the Helmet of Destruction’s location, and find out what happened. in battle. They come across many dead as the scene returns to the fight against an evil dragon.

The second clip features Grant welcoming three groups of adventurers, including all three above, to a competition in Neverwinter, where they run through a maze to escape a migrating monster. As they search for weapons, Rodriguez is attacked by an imitator posing as a chest, while Lillis nearly stumbles upon a gooey mass. The clip ends with Pine being cornered by the beast.
