Why Nobody Talks About the 'Dungeons & Dragons' Trilogy

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has generated buzz with fans of the iconic TTRPG since the teaser trailer was unveiled at San Diego Comic Con last year. Between actual play shows like Critical Role and Dimension 20 drawing in a generation of new players, and shows like Stranger Things familiarizing viewers with the IP, it's no surprise that the film has landed a spot on several "most anticipated movies of 2023" lists.

RELATED: 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' Con-Exclusive Footage Showcased the Film's Comedic Timing As it turned out, TSR's reservations were warranted. Studios turned away the project because of an alleged lack of interest and success in the fantasy genre. Fun fact: Lord of the Rings would premiere one year after Dungeons & Dragons. Anyway, disagreements over how to finance the film went on for so long that Wizards of the Coast acquired the rights to Dungeons & Dragons from TSR during the process.

To be fair, getting Dungeons & Dragons to the production and post-production stages in the first place certainly wasn't easy, and the budget uncertainty undoubtedly interfered with the creative process. That being said, it's difficult to see what made filmmakers and investors excited about the project to begin with. Even if I try to imagine the best version of the script, good acting, impressive visuals, and the spirit of D&D being present, it still feels boring.
