Before filming the madcap adventures of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the film’s cast played the actual game along with directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
In a short clip, you can see Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, and Sophia Lillis playing through a session on the film’s first day of production. “It’s such an incredibly creative game,” Pine says in the clip. “The game teaches camaraderie and friendship. We had a blast.”
“When things don’t go to plan, that’s when you kind of get the best parts of the game,” said Page, who attempted to hug an owlbear in-game. Apparently it did not go well. Still, I’d kill to see the Page-owlbear interaction in full — Paramount, you know what to do.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is now in theaters.
