Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Peter Dinklage (Games of Thrones), Summer Glau (Firefly), Danny Pudi (Community), Margarita Levieva (The Lincoln Lawyer), and director Joe Lynch are bringing their indie film Knights of Badassdom to San Diego for the 2011 Comic-Con. The cast and director will be hosting a panel and participating in a Q&A on Saturday, July 23rd in Hall H. They’ll also be debuting a special exclusive trailer for the comedy/fantasy adventure.
So, what’s Knights of Badassdom? Here’s the official synopsis:
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.
