The new trailer for the Joe Lynch helmed horror/comedy ‘Knights of Badassdom’ was shown this weekend at Comic Con. The trailer, previewed by IndieVest, does make the movie look like a hell of a lot of fun. The LARPing laughs turn deadly and serious as our heroes played by the ever ass-kicking hottie Summer Glau -below (‘Serenity’, ‘Firefly’), Ryan Kwanten (‘True Blood’), Peter Dinklage (‘Death at a Funeral’) and Steve Zahn (‘Joyride’) unwake an evil succubus and find theirselves in more of a deadly game than they bargained for. Check out the trailer and full synopsis below.
“A huge group of dedicated, costumed LARP-ers (Live Action Role-Players) , dressed like knights, elves & various characters, who give up their cell phones and take to the woods for the Central New Jersey Knights of Badassdom Adventure Society, where they are set to re-enact a dungeons and dragons scenario right out of the mythical Middle Ages.
After being dumped by his sexy girlfriend Beth, Joe reluctantly decides to join Eric and his Larping friends in the woods rather than stay behind and feel sorry for his newly single status. There he meets hot, ass-kicking, intimidating huntress LARPer Gwen, and finds himself a surreal adventure wilder than he ever imagined when a make-believe wizard casts an all-too-real spell from an ancient book he bought on EBay, releasing 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?”
