In Hall H on Saturday afternoo,nI had the chance to sit in on one of the most enjoyable panels of the convention. It was for a little independent flick called Knights of Badassdom directed by Joe Lynch and starring Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Summer Glau (Firefly, Serenity) Danny Pudi (Community), and Margarita Levieva.
At the very humorous panel, we got to learn how the film about LARPing came to be and how much fun it was to shoot a film about this niche community that accidentally summons up a succubus from hell. At the panel, Joe Lynch debuted both the trailer and a clip of Peter Dinklage explaining the rules to newcomer/friend Ryan Kwanten. Both videos were extremely entertaining, showcasing how much fun this movie is actually going to be. You can check out the Comic Con trailer below. Enjoy and let us know what you think of it.
Synopsis: In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. When Joe’s “sorcerer” roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, bloody reality crashes down upon their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.
