New Trailer for Knights of Badassdom

An indie film which looks like it could be a fun ride is Knights of Badassdom, starring Steve Zahn, Summer Glau, Ryan Kwanten, and Peter Dinklage. There’s no official release date for the film yet but the horror/comedy comes across as something which a lot of gamers will get a kick out of as the story deals with some live action roleplaying fanatics unleashing a real demon upon the world. Granted, KoB was originally planned for a 2012 release but at least a new trailer hitting the scene is a good indication the movie is getting closer to a debut.

Here’s the synopsis from IndieVest Pictures:

Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. When Joe’s “sorcerer” roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, bloody reality crashes down upon their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.
