Hugh Grant Has Hilarious Reason For Joining Dungeons & Dragons Movie

Hugh Grant reveals the hilarious reason for wanting to join DnDMovie. 'I think maybe what I responded to most in their script was that it's about losers. This little band of comrades, they're all a bit crap.'

While the extent of his role in the film remains unclear, Hugh Grant has a hilarious reason for joining Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Based on Wizards of the Coast's tabletop game of the same name, the story revolves around a bard and his group of adventurers as they attempt to recover an artifact they stole for a dangerous being intent on destroying the world.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Collider at Brazil's Comic-Con Experience, Hugh Grant opened up about his time working on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. When asked about working with writing/directing duo John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Grant shared the hilarious reason for wanting to join the adaptation of the iconic tabletop game, citing the various characters' "loser-ish" natures in the story.

I think maybe what I responded to most in their script was that it's about losers. This little band of comrades, they're all a bit crap. You are not great at being a bard. And the magician, played by Justice [Smith], is really bad. What do they call magicians in Dungeons & Dragons? Sorcerer. He's not much good. And Michelle [Rodriguez’s] character has been thrown out of whatever. What is she? Barbarian. And is still in love with her husband, who is in love with someone else.

The most recent Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves video offered a deeper tease of some of the loser qualities Grant has teased for the film's characters, including how it will play into their fight scenes. While Rodriguez's barbarian Holga was expected to be the muscle of the group, the footage indicated that some of their skills in scenes would come from a matter of sheer luck, getting her weapon by accident after it was knocked out of the hands of an enemy.

With Grant indicating the film will focus on characters far more likely to be familiar to those who have played the tabletop game than larger heroes, it seems clear that Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is in the hands of those who understand the appeal of the games and want to retain the spirit and tone of it.
