Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: 5 Questions For A Corpse Clip
Paramount Pictures has released a new Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves clip that features our heroes asking corpses five [and only five] questions.
As we get closer to March, the marketing for all the big movies coming out next month continues to kick up. We had Wick Week last week for John Wick: Chapter 4, and this Monday, we have Paramount Pictures releasing a clip from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. It features our group of heroes reviving soldiers from a battle, but you can only ask the corpse five questions before they die again, never to be raised again. So, the question of "what is a question" is presented, and also, "what happens when we raise someone who doesn't have the information we need." If this clip looks familiar to some, it's because we saw it at the Hall H presentation last July.
A film based on Dungeons & Dragons has been hanging out in development hell for a long time, but no one seemed to be able to figure out how they wanted to approach it. This film is approaching it with a tongue firmly lodged in a cheek, and it's looking like the right way to go. However, something that Dungeons & Dragon: Honor Among Thieves has to contend with that even something like a video game adaptation doesn't have to contend with is that it isn't just going from an interactive medium to an inactive medium. Still, it is going from an interactive group medium to an inactive viewing experience. Anyone who has played any amount of DnD will tell you the fun comes from the players around the table, and it is an extremely unique hurdle this film has to jump over.
