When I last interacted with director Joe Lynch on Twitter I had to ask where the hell KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM was. His reply was: “Not a clue but feel free to call the fine folks at IndieVest.” Then I decided that we should take them on LARP style to which he jokingly added “Why use foam swords? ;)”. Yes, I included the winky smiley for authenticity.
I heard six days later that it was getting a release date. Awesome, right? I guess they didn’t want to be LARP challenged.
An announcement teaser for the film was released to refresh our memories and ignite the flame once more! For those who have been waiting to see the film, you can catch it on February 21, 2014, and it also releases via VOD on February 11, 2014. You can head over here to request a showing in your area. Let’s hope it’s the directors cut. But I’ll take either, really. I just want to see the damn thing.
Check the teaser out below.
Here’s the full trailer that was released in July 2011:
Synopsis:
KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM follows three best friends (Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn and Ryan Kwanten) and dedicated LARPers (Live Action Role Players) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario fresh out of the mythical Middle Ages. Trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood-lusting Succubus, from the pits of hell. Fantasy and reality collide on the Fields of Evermore in an all-out epic battle of make-believe wizards, demons and assorted mythical creatures. Their courage and friendship is put to the test as they attempt to vanquish the evil they have summoned. Will the group prove to simply be foam sword-wielding LARPers, or true “Knights of Badassdom?”
