Knights of Badassdom is finally Upon Us!
Hear ye, hear ye, Knights of Badassdom is finally coming. Many have waited for Joe Lynch’s LARP comedy, and all I can really say it is finally upon us. Check out Entertainment One’s announcement below!
Lynch
wrapped production on the flick back in 2010, and what looked to be a cheese
fest of horror and comedy wowed fans at San Diego Comic Con 2011. We were on hand
to see some of the awesomeness of that press conference, which you can read
here.
The movie finds Joe (Ryan
Kwanten) dealing with a pretty heavy break-up with his girlfriend, Beth
(Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates, Eric and Hung (Steve Zahn, Peter
Dinklage), kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, complete
with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. “Sorcerer” Eric inadvertently summons
a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, and bloody reality crashes
down upon their fantasy world, forcing the make believe warriors to become full
fledge heroes.
Geekboys and fangirls should
go nuts for pretty much every part of this movie. It pokes fun as much as it pays homage to fandom and geekery. And the casting is nothing to scoff at either. It’s absolute perfection. Besides Ryan Kwaten, Steve Zahn and
Peter Dinklage, Summer Gladu, Joshua Malina, Danny Pudi, Margarita
Levieva, W. Earl Brown and Jimmi Simpson, also star. And really how can you go wrong, did I mention Peter Dinklage? He's pure gold as far as I'm concerned.
Knights of
Badassdom hits theaters on January 21, with a VOD release shortly after that on
February 11.
If you’re
still not sold on the epicness that will be Knights of Badassdom, check out the
trailer below!
