• Will Knights of Badassdom be badass?

    Joe Lynch is good buddies with Hatchet and Frozen director Adam Green. His only completed directorial project so far is a straight-to-DVD sequel to Wrong Turn. That’s about all that I know about the man who was behind the camera of Knights of Badassdom, a movie that I want so very much to like.

    The film, which follows live-action role players (LARPers) who mistakenly conjure a succubus during a LARPing tournament, is stacked with tons of nerd-friendly actors. It has, most importantly, Row Three favorite and current Emmy nominee for Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage. Then there is Summer Glau of Firefly, Ryan Kwanten of True Blood, Danny Pudi of Community, Michael Gladis of Mad Men, Margarita Levieva of Vanished, Jimmi Simpson of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and, of course, the nerdiest of them all, Steve Zahn. The trailer is hard to gauge, but trailers usually are for these type of comedies. It’s not particularly funny, but the combination of talent and the 1980s B-movie plot are inspiring.

    Check out the trailer after the jump and don’t forget to weigh in with your own thoughts!

    That cast = my ticket already bought

    This looks so deliciously nerdy. How come Felicia Day isn’t in this? Maybe they tried to cast her and she overloaded the nerdgasm factor so they decided it was best to stop where they were.

    So I just noticed this now for some reason. To hell with Darkon, this looks grrrrreat!
