Paramount on Friday revealed its 30-second Super Bowl commercial trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the action comedy that rolls the dice on an adaptation of the iconic Hasbro role-playing game. It hits theaters March 31.
Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Chloe Coleman, Daisy Head and Hugh Grant star in the pic, which centers on a band of unlikely adventurers who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic. Things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley directed the script they wrote with Michael Gilio.
The Super Bowl ad treatment is the latest big push for the D&D movie, after the Paramount and eOne pic was slotted into the opening-night position at SXSW, where it will mark its world premiere March 10.
Producers are Jeremy Latcham, Brian Goldner and Nick Meyer. Denis L. Stewart, Goldstein, Daley, Pine, Zev Foreman and Greg Mooradian are executive producers.
When the first trailer premiered at Comic-Con last summer, Grant noted the film has s “a Monty Python sensibility.” More is expected of it for sure than a 2000 movie take on the game, with Goldstein saying “there are characters from the Lore as well which will provide a runway into multiple films.”
