Knights of Badassdom gets a dvd and blu-ray release date, and the new trailer gets medieval when LARP gets out of hand.
Knights of Badassdom has knights, wizards, maidens and a demon and they’re all coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 1.
Some movies bill themselves as having all-star casts, but the new trailer for the Knights of Badassom is cast with all-star geeks. Summer Glau from Serenity, Steve Zahn from so many geeky classics, but I’m just going to say the dad on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie series just to be arbitrarily contrary, Ryan Kwanten who is Jason Stackhouse from True Blood. Peter Dinlage from Game of Thrones, and he’s packing an ounce of killer shrooms. There are monsters to be slain and these are just the dweebs to get medieval.
The Knights of Badassdom are role-players who actually kinda look bad ass. They live in a world within a world that’s like no other world, a weekend getaway in the trailer park known as The Fields of Evermore. The assembled are Dungeon and Dragoning out when they inadvertently summon a succubus from hell. While a lot of roleplay gamers might figure this is the hottest date they might ever get, these LARPers do battle to save the realm. Huzzah and shit.
The official synopsis says “Knights of Badassdom follows three best friends (Dinklage, Zahn and Kwanten) and dedicated LARPers (Live Action Role Players) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario fresh out of the Middle Ages. Trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood-lusting Succubus from the pits of hell. And as fantasy and reality collide on the Fields of Evermore in an all-out epic battle of make-believe wizards, demons and assorted mythical creatures, their courage and friendship is put to the test as they attempt to vanquish the evil they have summoned. Will the group prove to simply be foam sword-wielding LARPers or true "Knights of Badassdom?" Art thou ready to find out?”
Directed by Joe Lynch, Knights of Badassdom also features Danny Pudi from Community, Maragrita Levieva from Revenge and Adventureland and Jimmi Simpson from House of Cards and Date Night.
The DVD has special features including interviews, out-takes and a Summer Glau: Hottie Montage.
