Sophia Lillis & Justice Smith on Dungeons & Dragons Movie and Themberchaud the Dragon
96One of this year’s most anticipated adventure features is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, from writers and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. While promoting their film before the world premiere, stars Justice Smith and Sophia Lillis, who play Simon the Sorcerer and Doric the Druid respectively, spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the making of the movie. While chatting about everything from practical effects to D&D Easter eggs, the pair tell us that Daley and Goldstein, "...infused the story with the spirit of the game," and compare the practical effects to those in '80s genre classics like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.
In Honor Among Thieves, the world of D&D is brought to life, and like many a campaign, the movie centers on a particularly bizarre team of petty thieves who must embark on a hero’s journey. When Edgin the Bard, played by Chris Pine, and his partner and friend, Holga the Barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez), accidentally retrieve an ancient artifact for a cult of Red Wizards looking to bring about the destruction of life as they know it, the pair enlist help to right their wrong. Aided by a ragtag team of individuals, they set out to defeat the most menacing evil they’ve ever faced. In addition to Smith and Lillis, Honor Among Thieves also features Regé-Jean Page as Xenk the Paladin and Hugh Grant as Forge the Rogue.
During their interview, Smith and Lillis discuss the evolution of a script, getting Honor Among Thieves from the page to the screen, and what changed in between. They share what they’re most excited for fans to see, talk about Themberchaud, aka “Chonky,” and what they loved most about the insane practical effects that brought the D&D creatures to life.
