Production
Development
On May 7, 2013, Warner Bros. Pictures and Courtney Solomon's Sweetpea Entertainment announced a film based on Dungeons & Dragons with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick writing the script and Roy Lee, Alan Zeman, and Solomon producing.[5] Two days later, Hasbro issued a lawsuit saying that they were co-producing a Dungeons & Dragons film at Universal Pictures with Chris Morgan writing and directing.[6][7][8][9][10] On August 3, 2015, after U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee urged Sweetpea Entertainment and Hasbro to settle the rights case, the Warner Bros. film was set for pre-production with Hasbro.[11] On March 31, 2016, Rob Letterman was in negotiations to direct Johnson-McGoldrick‘s script,[12] with his role confirmed on May 13, 2016.[13] In April 2017, actor Joe Manganiello, an avid fan of Dungeons & Dragons, revealed that he had written a script with John Cassel for the project and was "talking to all the right parties" to make the film happen.[14] Upon completing the script, Manganiello worked in collaboration with Brad Peyton and Dwayne Johnson, who were both in negotiations to develop the film.[15]
In December 2017, after varying degrees of progression, the film was moved by Hasbro to Paramount Pictures and was scheduled for a release date of July 23, 2021.[16] In February 2018, Paramount was in talks with both Chris McKay and Michael Gilio to direct and write the film, respectively.[17] In March 2019, it was revealed that Gilio had completed a first draft and studio executives expressed excitement for the film. The studio began negotiations with various talent, as the casting process began.[18] On July 30, 2019, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley were in talks to direct.[19] By January 2020, the filmmaking duo announced that they had co-written a new draft of the script.[20][21] Ultimately, Daley, Goldstein, and Gilio received screenplay credit, while McKay and Gilio received story credit.[22]
Casting
On June 27, 2016, Ansel Elgort was in talks to star in Letterman's iteration of the film.[23] In December 2020, Chris Pine was cast to star in the film.[24] Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, and Regé-Jean Page were added in February 2021.[25][26] In March, Hugh Grant and Sophia Lillis would join the next month, with Grant cast as the antagonist.[27] In April, Chloe Coleman joined the ensemble cast.[28] In May, Jason Wong and Daisy Head joined the cast.[29][30] At a panel at San Diego Comic Con 2022 it was revealed that cast members from the Dungeons & Dragons web show Critical Role would make cameo appearances in the film.[31]
Filming
Filming began in early April 2021, with a crew of 60-70 people in Iceland.[32] Principal photography commenced in Belfast, Northern Ireland later that month.[33][34] On August 19, 2021, Daley announced that filming had completed.[35]
Release
The film was originally set to be released on July 23, 2021.[16] The release date was subsequently moved to November 19, 2021 to accommodate the release of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,[36] before being pushed back further to May 27, 2022 due to COVID-19.[37] In April 2021, the release date was further delayed to March 3, 2023.[38] On April 21, 2022 the official title of the film was announced as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.[3]
Marketing
In July 2022, it was announced that Honor Among Thieves will be featured at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con 2022; this includes a panel with members of the cast and crew and a "Tavern Experience".[39][40] The "Tavern Experience" will showcase characters of the film.[39][40]
A teaser trailer was released on July 21, 2022, on the same date as the film's SDCC panel.
Future
In February 2022, a spin-off television series was announced to be in development. A part of a "multi-pronged approach" for television projects, the show is described as the "flagship" and "cornerstone" live-action series, of the multiple projects in development; while the series will "complement" the film side of the franchise. Rawson Marshall Thurber is set to serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner and the series, in addition to directing the pilot episode. Various networks and streaming companies are bidding on distribution rights.[41]
