Unfortunately, they were the ones who pilfered it for these villains in the first place.

GOLDSTEIN: It’s that kind of movie.

DALEY: Yeah, that was a joke answer.

GOLDSTEIN: I was joking.

Black dragon- Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves

DALEY: It’s going to be, maybe

JEREMY LATCHAM: Hopefully before the end of the year.

We’re really close.

Because you have the shots.

DALEY: That’s right.

Movie

It’s a completely different beast.

DALEY: It totally is.

And fortunately, the studio and the VFX vendors have been incredibly supportive in that case.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

You’re doing what’s really D&D, which is four legs.

Well, we start with the lore.

We start with what’s in D&D.

DALEY: Our unique tweaks to the characteristics of the dragon.

So, we’re excited.

We worked really closely with the Wizards on the look of the dragons, as well.

GOLDSTEIN: Wizards of the Coast.

We know there aren’t really wizards.

LATCHAM: They are kind of like real wizards.

No, they were very involved though in the actual design of the dragon.

LATCHAM: And it was really wild.

DALEY: As allusions to the 80s?

I’m just talking aboutDragons Lair.

But we didn’t want it to be a total kitchen sink…

GOLDSTEIN: Checklist for geeks.

And people have really been with that show for a long time and here, that was outrageous.

The reaction was so big.

I lost it when I saw that.

LATCHAM: That’s awesome.
