‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Trailer Features Regé-Jean Page, Chris Pine and the Gelatinous Cube
variety.comDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” kicked off San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday as the first panel held at the massive Hall H, and it came with a fantastical trailer and slew of A-list stars.Chris Pine — donning chin-length blonde hair — Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Sophia Lillis and Hugh Grant took the stage to rapturous applause.
In addition to the trailer, the audience was treated to two clips from the unfinished film, shot in Northern Ireland during the U.K.’s COVID lockdown.
Pine described the movie as having “a Spielbergian energy to it,” while Grant said it has a “Monty Python vibe.”The trailer features Pine (as a bard), Rodriguez (as a barbarian), Justice Smith (as a sorcerer) and Lillis (as a druid) as a band of thieves attempting to rectify a mistake that unleashed a great evil upon their land.
They encounter all manner of fantastical creatures — and Page, as a rakish paladin who (seemingly) joins their quest. Unlike the solemn and intense trailers for recent fantasy series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “House of the Dragon,” however, the trailer for “Dungeons & Dragons” has a much more freewheeling and lighthearted tone, typified by the final shot of Pine gleefully strumming his lute.One of the lengthy clips (shown only at Hall H) involves the characters navigating through a maze as a few other teams try to make their way through.
