If you put FIREFLY‘s Summer Glau, TRUE BLOOD‘s Ryan Kwanten, GAME OF THRONES‘ Peter Dinklage, and Steve Zahn in a movie together, I’m already interested… but wait until you see the movie they’re in. Director Joe Lynch (WRONG TURN 2) is about to show you the world of LARPing in a way you’ll never forget. KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM made a big splash at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (I regretfully missed the press junket), and now you can see why everyone is excited about this rather fun project. Check out the trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter 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.
