Lorne Balfe Scores DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES, Coming March 31

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES is an upcoming fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio from a story by Chris McKay and Gilio. The film stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Chloe Coleman, Daisy Head and Hugh Grant and tells of a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure.

Based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and has no connections to the film trilogy released between 2000 and 2012. The film stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant.

Lorne Balfe (13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI, TERMINATOR GENISYS, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT, PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR, as well as the video games Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Assassin’s Creed III, Crysis 2, Skylanders) has scored the film.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS was originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and published by TSR, and is currently published by Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast. The film itself is set in the Forgotten Realms setting, which was created by Ed Greenwood.

The new film’s production went through a variety of phases in development since 2013, beginning with Warner Bros. Pictures after beating Hasbro and Universal Pictures in a lawsuit over the film rights to the tabletop role-playing game, before moving to Paramount Pictures, each with various writers and directors. Filming began in April 2021 in Iceland and later Northern Ireland. The film is now set to premiere at South by Southwest on March 10, 2023, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 31, 2023 via Paramount Pictures.
