Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Meet The Creatures
Paramount Pictures has released a new featurette for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves that spotlights all the creatures we'll meet on our upcoming adventure.
The world of Dungeons & Dragons is vast, and there are a lot of parts of the lore that the film could draw from. Since the beginning, fans of the tabletop game have been wondering if the movie would remain true [or as true as it could] to the source material. While the tone is probably not what some expected when they thought of a big-screen Dungeons & Dragons movie, all of the footage has shown that the filmmakers and everyone involved know their stuff. We are heading into the final four weeks before Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves comes out, and we have a new little featurette that shows all of the creatures that we'll be meeting during the film, including my chonky red dragon. I love him.
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.
