Having been practically shelved for the past couple of years due to all sorts of internal troubles LARP-ing based horror comedy ‘Knights of Badassdom’ has finally been acquired by Entertainment One for a US roll out. The Joe Lynch helmed project which stars Ryan Kwanten (‘True Blood’), the sexy Summer Glau -below (‘Firefly’), Peter Dinklage (‘Game of Thrones’), Steve Zahn, Jimmi Simpson (‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’) and Danny Pudi (‘Community’). We’ve already seen funny trailers cut for our enjoyment albeit months and months and months ago so it’s great to see things finally, and deservedly, moving forward on this. And where better to enjoy Dinklage now so popular for his role on ‘Game of Thrones’ acting in a LARP scenario!? Entertainment One will unleash KOB on VOD and into theatres and should hopefully nail a date very soon!
“After being dumped by his sexy girlfriend Beth, Joe (Kwanten) reluctantly decides to join Eric (Zahn) and his LARPing (Live Action Role Players) friends in the woods rather than stay behind and feel sorry for his newly single status. There he meets hot, ass-kicking, intimidating LARPer Gwen (Glau) and finds himself plunged into a surreal adventure wilder than he ever imagined when a make-believe wizard casts an all-too-real spell from an ancient book. That spell releases an actual demon with a taste for human blood — and souls — that starts systematically decimating the players in this suddenly deadly “game.” Will our guys become the heroes they have been pretending to be before time runs out?”
