A new trailer for the highly anticipated Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was released on Monday.
The adaptation of the iconic game created by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974 features a star cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Rege-Jean Page.
This new trailer had more barbs than the last one that debuted at Comic-Con in July.

The new trailer begins with the leads being told to get on their knees, but instead they fight off the sack boys while Pine tries hard to get the ropes off his wrists.
We then find out that the ‘Red Wizards have created an army of the undead’ which proves very problematic for the crew.
“How are we going to do this?” Rodriguez asks when Pine says they need a team.
Car chases, explosions and Hugh Grant are next as it becomes clear the journey won’t be easy.
Grant can also be seen watching Pine in agony as a snake wraps itself around his mouth. Hugh says he doesn’t want to see Chris die, so he’ll just leave the room.
Throughout the clip, Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love explodes.
The film will debut in March 2023.

Much of this was covered in the July trailer.
Pine’s character said, “Here’s the thing. We’re a team of thieves, and if you do that, you’re bound to make enemies.”
He is seen with the rest of his team – played by Page, Rodriguez, Lillis and Justice Smith – wearing a golden helmet, while Pine adds, “Sometimes these enemies come looking for revenge.”
The next shot shows a battlefield as a dragon flies overhead while Pine and his team take cover.
Team: The July trailer started with Pine’s character saying, “Here’s the thing. We’re a team of thieves, and if you do, you’re bound to make enemies.
Helmet: He is seen with the rest of his team – played by Page, Rodriguez, Lillis and Justice Smith – wearing a gold helmet, with Pine adding, “Sometimes these enemies come looking for revenge.”
“To be honest, we helped the wrong person steal the wrong thing,” says Pine, as a red horn is displayed that has some nefarious purpose.
“We didn’t want to unleash the greatest evil the world has ever seen,” Pine adds, as villainous characters wield that evil power.
Pine adds, “But we’ll fix it,” while Rodriguez, at a loss for words, asks how they’re going to fix it.

“Will you find out over a drink?” she asks, to which Pine immediately replies, “Probably best,” as they set off, seemingly toward a pub.
Pine adds if they want a “fighting chance” they need power, which appears to be provided by Rodriguez, who has seen him defeat a number of knights.
Pine adds that they will also need courage, which Page provides, magic wielded by Smith, “and you,” he said, looking at Lillis.

The next shot shows Lillis transforming into a giant creature that Smith says Pine is an “owlbear” in order to defeat a few more enemies before transforming back into her human form.
The trailer ends with a series of shots including Page fighting multiple enemies while Rodriguez adds, “I’m glad he’s on our side.”
The trailer also features a number of quick shots, including Hugh Grant’s character, along with a number of intricate visual effects shots.

The trailer ends with Pine saying, “But whatever happens, we’ll be ready,” and a shot of Lillis asking Pine what he’s contributing to this particular operation.
“I’m a planner. I make plans,” he says, though Lillis counters that he already made the plan, though he adds, “If the existing plan fails, I make a new plan,” while Lillis adds, “So you make plans that fail ?
Rodriguez adds, “He also plays the lute,” while Pine adds, “Not relevant,” while we see a brief shot of him playing the lute as the trailer wraps up.
