JOHN FRANCIS DALEY: Very good question.
JONATHAN GOLDSTEIN: Yeah, it’s an original project of ours.

The Blu-ray is coming out soon, home video release.
What are you guys actually most excited for fans to see on the home video release?
People on the staff, and also on Twitter, asked, why is there no Jarnathan merchandise?

GOLDSTEIN: That’s a good question.
DALEY: That is for the brand holders to answer.
Jarnathan really took off on social media, and it’s a character that everyone loves.
Did you guys come up with a backstory?
Is there more to know?
GOLDSTEIN: [Laughs] We can generate one, but no.

It’s completely irrelevant what your species is.
[Laughs] I gotta leave that alone.
Edgins champion of failure speech is so good.

Can you talk about filming that scene and coming up with that speech?
It was shot on stage, it was all indoors.
DALEY: And Chris just nailed it.
Oh, I completely agree.
DALEY: I agree.
DALEY: [Laughs] That’s right, that’s true.
I think we talked about this at the screening, but I love learning about deleted scenes.
I know the Blu-ray has deleted and extended scenes.
DALEY: Something like that.
I couldn’t give you an exact number, but a substantial amount.
And some scenes that are really informative of character.
GOLDSTEIN: As you know, pace is everything in a film like this, or many films.
And so we have to make that tough decision, like, is this worth the time?
GOLDSTEIN: They were things that made it probably into quite a few cuts.
But, it didn’t quite translate on the film.
I have to ask you, I read that you guys wroteVacation Friends 2, is that true?
GOLDSTEIN:Vacation Friends 2?
No, we had nothing to do with it.
And then, we ended up leaving to doGame Night.
But it was a script that we had written that was then rewritten.
GOLDSTEIN: Are they making a sequel this year?
Yeah, it comes out this year.
I saw your names on IMDB with the sequel.
I’m like, Wait, what?
GOLDSTEIN: Don’t believe everything you see on IMDB.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesis available to purchase on Digital now.
