The above title alone should conjure all manner of crazy imagery in your head. For me it screams a bloody good time without reading any more of the premise. Peter Dinklage screaming “FIREBALL! FIREBALL!” as he attacks Steve Zahn who is trying desperately to deflect the imaginary assault with a magical nightmare staff. I’d pay ten bucks for that.

Knights of Badassdom will also feature “True Blood” star, Ryan Kwanten and will be directed by Joe Lynch. I can’t say anything about the director as the only real credit he has in Wrong Turn 2; which I’ve not seen. However, if you caught last year’s underrated Frozen, you got to watch him sit on a chair lift for a couple of hours.

At any rate, the story follows a group of live action role players (LARPers) who conjure up a demon from hell by mistake and must deal with the consequences. Sounds kind of Raimi-esque or Joe Dante style film. Kwanten mentioned in a recent interview that it is like “like ‘Shaun of the Dead’ meets ‘Role Models.’ It’s a real black comedy”. Sign me up now. Filming begins this summer for probably an early summer 2011 release.
