If Sophia Lillis’ wonderfully-named character wasn’t enough to get “D&D” fans pumped for “Honor Among Thieves,” knowing the cast played a campaign together surely is. “We played ‘D&D’ together right before we shot,” she told MTV News at Comic-Con. “It was kind of like our way of introducing ourselves and having a little bit of an insight of how we were gonna play these characters. It was a lot of fun.”
The campaign consisted of the entire “Honor Among Thieves” party: Lillis, Regé-Jean Page, Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Justice Smith. However, Hugh Grant, unfortunately, didn’t get the invite. A Dungeon Master from Wizards of the Coast ran their campaign as they played their characters from the movie. Surprisingly, Pine was the only cast member who hadn’t played before, but he quickly developed an admiration for it. “I loved it,” he exclaimed, relating it to his day job. “It’s like acting. Pick a role, and then you go play the role with your friends and have a good time.”
It seems the bonding experience paid off, as the cast constantly burst out in laughter throughout the interview. According to Page, the on-set vibes were just like that while filming “Honor Among Thieves,” which comes through in the movie, further solidifying that “D&D” is getting a proper live-action adaptation.
