Today’s Spotlight: Dungeons & Dragons- The Big Screen Edition

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Welcome to the new edition of the OTC Blog. Paramount Pictures announced they would be releasing a reboot with an all-star cast. What do Chris Pine, Thora Birch, and Jeremy Irons have in common? As of March of 2023, all will have played characters in a Dungeons and Dragon movie. The original trilogy included Dungeon & Dragon, Wrath of the Dragon God, and The Book of Vile Darkness which were released between 2000-2012. Sadly the movies were not a cinematic hit and disappointed fans. We are hopeful that the new reboot will give us DnD fans the movie we deserve.

The roleplaying game, Dungeons and Dragons has been the inspiration for many films. Whether the heroes are battling beasts from other realms or being sent on a quest for the Gods. The influence of DnD can easily be seen throughout the history of cinema. Here is a shortlist of films that I believe capture the imagination of the roleplaying we all love.

Lord of the Rings-The Fellowship of the Rings Lord of the Ring- The Two Towers Lord of the Rings- The Return of the King The Hobbit- The Unexpected Journey The Hobbit- The Desolation of Smaug The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies The Gamers Trilogy- The Gamers The Gamers Trilogy - Dorkness Rising The Gamer Trilogy- Dead Gentleman Thaco: The Movie Reign of Fire Conan Barbarian Jason and the Argonauts 13th Warrior Willow Legend Dragonslayer The 7th Voyage of Sinbad The Dark Crystal The Magic Sword Pathfinder Excalibur Apocalypto Solomon Kane Lady Hawke The Last Witch Hunter Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas Dark Dungeons The Princess Bride A Knights Tale Monty Python and the Holy Grail Mazes and Monsters Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight Knights of Badassdom Road to Eldorado Red Sonja Of Dice and Men Hawk Slayer Curse of the Dragon Slayer Journey Quest Army of Darkness The Thief of Bagdad Clash of the Titans Hercules Duturana: Benders Game

How many have you seen? Are there any others that didn’t make our list? Grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy these DnD-inspired films. Would our new novel: Raven Naelo and the Fall of the Guardians make a good film to add to the list?
