As the premiere ofDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesfast approaches, it’s high time we get teased with another trailer for the upcoming adventure. That’s why Paramount decided to release a new trailer today in order to provide a better look at the story and its characters. The movie will center around Edgin (Chris Pine), who joins an unlikely group as they band together in order to retrieve a lost relic, but are forced to learn to work as a team when nothing goes according to plan.
It’s been a while since we saw thefirst trailerforDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: It came out in July! Even though the title made waves at SDCC and the CCXP panel revealedsome major informationabout the movie, we severely lacked new footage until today.
Dungeons and Dragons—LikeSoMany Dragons
In addition, the trailer underscores thatDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieveslooks like it’s doing its very best to honor geek culture and D&D tradition, and that extends even to the dragons in the story, which are from several species—a difference that normally is ignored in stories that feature the winged beasts. Co-directorsJohn Francis DaleyandJonathan Goldsteintalked to Colliderabout that distinction, and revealed that one of their goals was to find a unique aesthetic to the (fingers crossed) new franchise.

D&D Legacy Comes to Life
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesis based on the most popular tabletop RPG game of all time, and the one that influenced countless epic stories that we love today. Designed byGary GygaxandDave Arneson, the game also inspired theDungeons & Dragonsanimated series, which ran fairly short for only 27 episodes spread across three seasons—but they were enough to generate a legion of fans across the world. The series is also famous for being canceled prematurely before a final episode could be produced, which sparked all sorts of fan theories about how it would end to this day.
Aside from Pine, the star-studded cast ofDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesalso featuresMichelle Rodriguez,Regé-Jean Page,Hugh Grant,Justice Smith, andSophia Lillis. The script is co-written by the duo of directors along with screenwriterMichael Gillio(Kwik Stop).
