Hugh Grant says the upcoming “Dungeons and Dragons” movie is about a group of “losers.”
The 62-year-old actor – who plays Forge Fitzwilliam, aka The Rogue – was drawn to the script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein because he felt it was all about the underdog.
In an interview with his co-star Chris Pine, who plays the brave bard Elgin, he told Collider: “I think maybe what I respond to most in their script is that it’s about losers. This little group Comrade, they’re all kind of crap. You’re not good at being a bard.
“And the magician that justice plays [Smith], really bad. In Dungeons and Dragons, what do they call magicians?
“Wizard. He’s not well. And Michelle [Rodriguez’s] Character has been thrown away. And still loving her husband while her husband loved someone else. I echoed something about this little band of losers. Maybe it’s a British preference. We like losers. “
Chris, 42, revealed he loves working with directors Daly and Goldstein.
He said: “I mean, first of all, they’re really funny. They have a history of making really good comedy. They have a good heart. And how they want to tell the story, at least for me. , is exactly what I love about big budget filmmaking, it’s not too cool for school. It has a sincere, real heart with a really sweet message. This comedy really counts. Visual practical elements Very neat. I think, especially with all the green screens these days, doing something practical with real monsters made by super artisans, and live effects that you can feel, touch and interact with…
“And they’re technical people. I mean, it takes real samurai minds to figure out how to do a film of this size and scope. And you can feel like they’re trying to knock it out of the park. Their last film It’s game night, it’s a third of the size and scope. You can feel they really want to win. So I like their ambition as well.”
