'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' Releases First Trailer, and a Tavern at Comic-Con

Thursday the first trailer appeared online for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves - and 15 million people have watched it. "Here's the thing. We're a team of thieves..." actor Chris Pine says in a voiceover. "We didn't mean to unleash the greatest evil the world has ever known. But we're going to fix it." The video's description explains that "A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure." The trailer also features Michelle Rodriguez, Rege-Jean Page, Hugh Grant, and a Druid that can turn into an Owlbear. But at Comic-Con's Gaslamp Quarter there were also photo ops inside the legendary gelatinous cube, at a pop-up tavern serving glow-in-the-dark Dragon's Brew. The official "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Tavern Experience" drew this rave review from Esquire. "Rest assured, friends, if the actual Dungeons and Dragons movie is anything like the tavern, it'll be a rocking, hilarious, self-aware, and - most importantly! - a fun trip."The team behind Dungeons and Dragons rigged the bar so that it would rumble like hell and fill with smoke whenever a dragon appeared on a massive video screen at the front. (We were supposed to infer that the tavern was under attack....) Save a grog for me. "Based on what we've seen, this movie looks like it's going to be a whole lot of fun," writes CinemaBlend:If you're hyped up for the campaign Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is promising here, you can take your place at the metaphorical gaming table starting March 3, 2023. As the movie's trailer asks, "Who needs heroes when you have thieves?"
